"Soft but prickly: The thistle" is a macro photograph of a thistle flower, where the focus is on the flower in the centre, from the centre the vaguely in the background prickly thistle leaves run like rays to the outside of the work.
As a result, most of the work's surface is filled with the thistle.
The main colours in this work are: grey, green, blue/blue-grey and white/cream.
I chose the title because I think the flowers of the thistle have something very sweet and soft, the leaves, on the other hand, are very prickly. If you zoom in on the picture you can see this.
This work could, for example, hang beautifully as wall decoration in the waiting room, bedroom, hallway or simply above the couch in the living room! Also beautiful on the wall in a meeting room (business).
