Charlie Brown was a hapless character in a long-running American comic strip, Peanuts. The artist died a few years ago, but his comic strip is being rerun. Charlie Brown was famous for always losing his kite in a tree.

Hi guys,
I've been requested to put this tree and kite in the coming National show on May.
I don't want to put it in the display repeatedly in such short interval period, So I decided to add something into it to have an added flavor.





...meet the owner of the kite

No comment..as I will be one of the judges...
See you soon, Jun... and just to remind you for the gunning game...

hi Jun,

unique and excelent.....well done and it will be a 'peoples favorite' @ the show for sure.

cheers Marcus

Hi Jun. You already know that I love this idea and composition. One day I WILL steal your idea... all I need is a windswept as beautiful as your tree

It looks like you have a 'sky' photo behind, why not go one further and put a screen with a movie like this: BTW I know that kev has done some time lapse clouds too

You mean Charlie Brown, Jun?

Tony's idea is brilliant! And this specific music theme, too!

I understand Robert! just send me PM hehehe, just kidding, i know you' re a fair judge and a professional guy.

...see you soon!

I will not discuss here my other treats to you (all kind of gun firing included) as this will be tantamount to bribing the judge. hehehe. I'll "fight" fair and square....What else you want again other than all boys night out? hehehe.

Thanks Marcus!

To tell you honestly, It gives so much joy to me seeing the "normal" (not the bonsaists) people appreciating the tree and taking photos of the tree and kite when I first exhibited the set.

jun

That's great Jun..what else ?.. Will it still the ribbon cutting for your new shop ? Hope our new tools will sell well...

Hi Tony.
Thanks for the kind words. I am waiting for your version....I know you will do even better than mine as you have some 40 years head start against me.hehehe, Just kidding . Seriously though, I really like your other accent stuffs as well like the dragonfly , so I'll keep on waiting for your kite version.

With the sky background- I just spray paint (canned spray) it on white acrylic glass...less than one minute to do. So, it is very "low tech",the time lapse clouds is very nice and tempting to do,,,Maybe someday when I grow old and have my first own exhibit I'll keep that in mind .

Yes Alexandra and Iris that Charlie Brown alright....you are ladies!

Thanks!

Hi Xuang,
More like a boy being chased by a dog...I am sure that will remind most people of their childhood.

BTW, just got from your country, very nice country and good people as well. very cold in Genting highlands too...hope to get back back there soon. Just got a very tempting invitation from Robert.

Beautiful Jun. Just beautiful.
It made my day, made me homesick.....

Congratulation Jun...

Thanks Robert,

...To make it clear. Robert is not part of the judging on this one. hehehe.

Here is an idea. How about the kite goes back on the tree and have the little kid underneath looking up reaching for the kite.

If I was the kid, I would certainly not run my kite toward the tree! I would stay clear of the tree.

Congrats Jun

Nice one Jun , well deserved.

Agreed.

Thanks Folks!

I am very happy this morning,,,,I saw this tree and my Buddha penjing on national television, mine was the first one to appear on the screen before the real winning trees...Though I consider my trees as study trees and just playing with them. hehehe.
