Xmas [Black Pine] Tree

Post by AGarcia »

Hello,

I am not a big fan of the plastic/metal christmas trees, but the wife really wanted a Christmas tree. We thought it a good opportunity to bring in one of the bonsai's for display. I had to live with the decorations. Please note, the large bottom decoration is supposed to be a guinea pig.

Anyone else have a xmas bonsai tree? I hope you all had a nice relaxing break.

Hey there,
I like the pine you have there, nice tree!
Unfortunately I don't have any trees worthy of being decorated for this time of year but it is a good idea..
My question is about the picture in the background, is it a Hieronymus Bosch triptych :?:
Cheers

bonscythe,

Yes, it is a print of his. "Temptation of St Anthony". I am a big fan of his paintings as well as Bruegel's.

Nice one Al!! Nice looking pine, too :)
I'd very much like to do this, but have nothing worthy of dressing up yet.
