My dear twin BiTi, fellows PNEH, painters, poets. official art critic,
After announcing the theme STRIPES, I thought so hard to come up with my entries, that I started seeing stripes everywhere, even when I closed my eyes. It was quite crazy, all those swirly stripes, twisting and dancing in my mind :-)
So here are the results (I am sending them in separate emails because of the sizes)
Photo no. 1: from my archives, flags stripes in Brussels.
Photos no. 2 and 3: I saw stripes on eggplants and zucchinis when I went food shopping on Sunday.
Photo no. 4: I even saw stripes this morning when I stood at the top of the steps above Ralph Bunche Park, and looked down on the UN building on 1st Avenue. From far, with some imagination, the glass building seemed to have horizontal stripes. And without the need for imagination, one could see the stripes on the street. Finally with the help of magnifying glass, you may be able to see some stripes on the flags :-).
Photo no 5: I saw more stripes, on the foliage, when I took a stroll at lunch time at Tudor City Park.
More stripes to come, as I keep dreaming about them :-). Just blame my twin BiTi, if my striped entries make you feel dizzy :-)
Good night from Be^n Bo*\ So^ng

Dear Mai Châu,
ReplyDeleteI love your ideas of STRIPES ! It is so original with simple things like eggsplants,
zuccchinis, the flags, the building or the leaves...You are full of imagination and creativity.
No wonder you are twin with BT !
Thanks for sharing,
BL

Hi BL, BiTi, Trie^'t,
ReplyDeleteThanks for your nice comments.
Hi Trie^t',
no need to stretch your imagination, you just need to turn the photo around and around, and keep looking at the leaves. Guarantee that you will see stripes... everywhere.

Hello Mai Chau
ReplyDeleteWhat's in a name, but a cute, artsy, whimsical version of Stripes of the leafy kind, that elevated its meaning to a more fanciful level
