“Thistle”
Wow, it got caught out in the rain and still it appears lovely with the beautiful shades of purple sprouting out and adoring the sky. The sky just burst open and the rain came pouring down from the heavens to nourish this sweet little baby. The Celtic knots at the bottom are done in earth tones to remind us of the nourishment that comes from the earth to make it live also.

The inspiration for this piece came from the carpet pages from the “Book of Kells”.
This painting gives the viewer the feeling of looking upward. As if looking upward through a lush forest or jungle and then seeing the light from above.
His wreath you may have noticed resembles larva. Perhaps that’s because there is a butterfly in the middle of it.
A wonderful cross with Celtic knots throughout and the symbol in the center tells the story.
