"Blue purple thistle bulb with abstract reflection" is a macro photo of a bulb of a Thistle. This thistle bulb is just short of flowering, so it now has beautiful points (these will be the flowers). These points make it look just like a spiny bulb. The beautiful purple colour with the olive-green accents on the underside of the points give the bulb a nice natural but also calm look.
The under, - background are turquoise blue in colour. Because the background has a textured reflective layer, the surface creates an abstract painter's reflection of the thistle bulb.
If you zoom in on the picture, you can see this clearly. Then you can also see that the focus in the photo is on the front of the thistle bulb. Which creates a sense of depth in the work.
Beautiful as a wall decoration for the living room above the sofa! (but can of course shine just as well in a waiting room, study or bedroom).
