Two beautifully shaped flower buds of the Artichoke. The sharp tips of the bracts of this flower bud turn purple and red. These bracts protect the precious pistils and stamens developing inside this flower bud.
To do full justice to the shapes, the background has been kept vague and a limited deviation of hue chosen. The design of the stones is the wall in the background give a soft contrast, just enough to keep the attention on the flower buds. The Artichoke should be the main subject without stepping out of the frame. The lighting has been kept soft for a calm image.
This image can be an optimal addition to a space that needs to exude tranquillity. It is an attention-grabber without emphasising a particular mood other than calm and relaxation. In a room with a different colour or hue, this image can make just the difference. The yellow tones can then stand out from the wall.
The use of this image with a limited number of colours is versatile. As a tranquillity point or accentuation of calm in rooms with pastel shades or as a breaking point or attention-getter in rooms with bright, different colours.
