Thistle, 8x6, Oil on Gessoed Hardboard
The weed that is everywhere you don't want it to be is my subject for the day.
I usually look at these things with disgust before I cut them down and dig up their tap root, but today I looked at this one with the eyes of an 'artist'. All of the different greens, the way the light plays with the tiny petals of the bloom, the multitudes of little spikes covering the seed pod, and the pointy thorns all the way up the stem.
I hope I captured it all with this little study.
Enjoy!
