"Simplicity and peace: Two dried pastel-coloured leaves" is a macro photo of two beautiful pastel-coloured leaves of a Bougainvillea. I often came across this plant in Lanzarote. (This plant needs a warm climate!) These leaves are joined in pairs.
This plant has brightly coloured bracts, these are around the real flowers. These bracts have fallen off the plant with its seeds and dried in the lovely Spanish sunshine. This has made the leaves more translucent and lighter in colour, and the veins can be seen much better as a result. The pastel colours of soft pink and orange give the photo a calm look. The leaves lie on a separate background, mirroring them in an abstract way. The mirror image looks almost painterly. If you zoom in on the photo, this is easy to see.
This work could hang beautifully as wall decoration on, for example, aluminium or artframe in the bedroom, dining room or simply above the sofa or sideboard in the living room! Also beautiful in business locations such as on the wall in a meeting room, office, waiting room or practice room!
