"Simplicity and tranquillity: Zeeland knot (Astrantia Major)" is a picture of a beautiful flower of a Zeeland knot (Astrantia Major). The petals of this flower are fuchsia pink-purple interspersed with white - old pink. This gives a beautiful effect. The background is a dark purple- burgundy colour and creates a calm transition from the flower to the background. This dark colour of the background makes the light parts of the Zeeuws knoopje (Astrantia major) stand out more. This gives a nice, almost dramatic effect. But still, the work exudes something of tranquillity and the colours being close together makes it calm.
The flower is turned away from the camera, so you see the flower mainly from the back. The side with the "small flowers" (the stamps look just like small flowers too) is at the back and it can only be seen vaguely and only a tiny bit, behind the petals.
This work could hang beautifully as a wall decoration in the bedroom, kitchen, hall or just above the sofa! Also beautiful in business locations such as on the wall in a meeting room, office waiting room or practice room!
