Fw: [MC74 and Friends] more entries for winter



Dear Bi twin, fellow PNEHs, painters, poets, Mai Quang and Forum friends,

here are my additional entries for the extended theme WINTER.
The first photo was taken yesterday afternoon in my neighbors' backyard. (Hint to my little sis: there is a big space in my photo too :-))
The second photo, of the moonlight was taken on a recent Sunday evening in my neighborhood.
The pictures in the collage were taken at various times in various places; the photos of the moonlight and the bare tree against a backdrop of purple sky were from my neighborhood, the photo of pine trees in the sunset were taken in upstate NY, the one with trees, clouds and sunset was taken while on the road to to southern NJ.

goodnight from be^n Bo*\ So^ng

Fwd: [MC74 and Friends] my entry for RED and GOLD






Dear Bi twin, fellow PNEH, painters, poets, Mai Quang and Forum friends,

my additional entry "canh\ hoa ddao\ va\ mat. troi*\" with my warmest wishes for a wonderful new year to all of you.
The photo was taken this past Thursday. On my way to work, I passed by this shop behind the fences, on First Avenue, I saw the reflection of the morning sun with its golden rays on the window, then noticed the cherry blossoms.
 To my friend and fellow New Yorker (and fellow night owl) Mai Quang, thank you for your good wishes. I wish you love, luck, health, happiness.

Fw: [MC74 and Friends] My 2nd entry for red and gold



Dear Ci Twin and  PNEH friends, 

 I went by the LV store at Stanford Shopping Center today and couldn't
believe it ... they  had their window display arranged  for our theme! and 
with a sense of humor to boot with the red purse replacing the cherry
on the cupcake :-)

So here we go, don't you think it's perfect for the theme? ;-)

Hi MC, BT, BL, M-U, KL and all our friends

Wow, your Red & Gold entries are SO SO impressive, artistic, beautifully laid out and written!

I have limited access to email in this antique small town with beautiful old forts and havelis... Today I feel much better but it's freezing cold

Here are my Red & Gold entries taken last week in HK
Cheers
Caro

BiTi,

TNS thoughtfully left space on one of his beautiful hoa anh đào pics for me to ruin with a poem.:-)  Thank you, TNS.  Thanks also to my big sis EmCi for lending her artistic flair when I couldn't figure out how to make the entry fit the Red and Gold theme.

My entry for RED & GOLD and Happy New Year






Dear Twin, fellow PNEH and Friends,

  We (me and my little kimekomi babi) would like to present to you our best 
wishes for a prosperous Year of the Dragon. May it bring you LOTS of wealth,
 happiness. health and love and whatever else your heart desires.

 She has put on her best red and gold outfit  and gone to the bank to get
this bag of gold coins just for you  hi hi...   Her sister (you met her last year
remember?) is a bit bummed out for not being the bearer of gifts this year
but she still has some quince for you if you go see her at:


Her mom has decided to make more babies since the Year of the Dragon
is supposed to be a good year, so wish her luck :-)

Cheers,
BT

Fw: [MC74 and Friends] my entries for red and gold










Dear MC,

I fully agree with BT about your collage  and can only say that being sick is useful sometimes.  I love your nakelace, and the way you display your jewelry stand, (also the picture of necklaces  you took for the Geometric shapes theme).
Since the MIA is back, I just might as well submit my entries for Gold & Red.
The first two were taken in Singapore, the buddhas and the pagoda were taken in Taipei. There are more gold and red in Asia than in Switzerland for sure, could not think about anything red and gold around this area !

Hope you feel better MC.

and good night.

BL


Fw: [MC74 and Friends] announcement to PNEHs - theme for next week









Dear MC, BT, Son, Quang, KL, HL, Tuan, Caro, JP and friends PNEH,

All your entries are so artistic and beautiful, I love them all and must admit that "môi nguoi môt. ve, muoi' phân' ven. muoi'".Since the theme Geometric shape is still ongoing, here are my entries taken last summer but fitted perfectly the theme.

Caro oi, hope you feel better and enjoy your trip in India. May be it is the best place to find a lot of Gold & Red for the new theme ?

Enjoy,
BL

More winterscape

Dear fellow PNEH and Friends,

Unlike my Twin I am still stuck in winter :-)

Here's a collage of winterscapes from Dallas (left top) and
Menlo Park (other 3). The persimmon tree - bottom right-
was from mid Dec, it's now bare...  the crows had a 
feast.

Cheers,
BT

Fw: [MC74 and Friends] my entries for red and gold






Dear Bi Twin, fellow PNEHs, painters, poets, Mai Quang, and Forum friends,

What would a PNEH do when the personcalled in sick but was not sick enough to stay in bed and got bored going in circles in the house?
OK, so this is what happened in my case. I went around the house looking for something red and gold to shoot pictures for our theme RED and GOLD.
I found a bead necklace in red and gold colors given to me by a young Tibetan colleague, then I remembered my twin's suggestion last time she was at my place that I should take a picture of MH's jewelry stand. Eureka! I discovered a few items among Mai Han's collection of necklaces that were perfect as symbols of my wishes to all of you for Te^t' (love, luck, prosperity, success).
So here they are (with thanks to my twin), to open the theme. I think this is the first time I open the show, hopefully it will bring lots of submissions from all PNEHs, painters, poets, Mai Quang, including those who went MIA for quite some time, and who knows, may be new PNEHs, painters and poets :-).

MC

PS: I even tried my twin's chup. xeo' technique which was not easy, I must admit. It took me many attempts... :-)


Fw: [MC74 and Friends] Tr: GEOMETRIC SHAPES




Bonjour,
 
Voici ma contribution au GEOMETRIC SHAPES !
A l'occasion d'un voyage début 2011 en Egypte, j'avais fait ce tableau appelé « COLONNES D'EGYPTE » en souvenir des colonnes à ciel ouvert des temples égyptiens.
Les billets d'entrée ont été incrustés dans le tableau.
C'est un tableau de 82cm de long et 65 cm de large peint en acrylic.
Bisous à tous .
