I was on my morning walk and saw these milk thistles growing wild through the forest. This one had a seed pod starting to open, so I carefully took them back to the studio and popped them in my favourite vase. I didn’t get back to them for another few days and was so surprised to see they had continued opening. I grabbed the camera and a very light fan to capture the release of their tiny seeds. It was a special moment, knowing I had captured something magical. Set against a dark, moody backdrop, and using natural light, I used our textures to create our signature painterly style, which softens their natural spiky appearance and complements the soft, wispy seeds.
Vibrant purple thistle blooms rise from a glass pitcher, their spiky petals glowing with color and life. Above them, a fragile seed head releases its wispy filaments, suspended mid-flight as they scatter gently into the darkness.
Our bespoke artwork is original photography, designed & handcrafted from our studio gallery in New Zealand.
