"Rural mood: A sprite of flax" is a macro photo of a small bud of flax (Linaceae). Flax is a crop and this sprite is dried and has warm brown colours. A simple, calm, warm image that has a repetition of colours in the background.
This is because this flax sprite was photographed in front of a lot of dried flax sprites. Because of the small depth of field, this background flax has become blurred. I did this to ensure that this one flax sprite really stands out in the foreground. As a result, the background matches nicely in terms of colours and you can also see the shapes vaguely recurring, but these are separate from "the sprite".
This work gives me a rural, natural feel, a sense of tranquillity and simplicity.
This work can hang beautifully (on aluminium or ArtFrame, for example) in the bedroom, hallway, kitchen or, of course, just above the sofa in the living room!
