The pine tree is an ancient subject, loved for its sinuosity, sturdiness, and venerable age(longevity). The symbolism which developed around it added meaning to its decorative qualities. It is associated with the Dragon, a primary symbol of the emperor ,and  also a symbol of the Yang (male)force and vital spirit the Chi -or spirit -of heaven, for those who took the last workshop, this will be an opportunity to explore foliage of this and other trees that can be added to landscapes .
