'Thistle

Day 42
The thistle is such a humble weed...yet
this plant has been the national symbol of Scotland
for over 500 years, and is deeply embedded in
Scottish legend and lore.

interested in purchasing any of my paintings you see

Beautiful Flower of Scotland Claire! You excel with these flower paintings.
This is so very beautiful, Claire. I didn't realize it was part of Scottish lore. How cool!
I did'nt know that about the this wild flower.
the values in the leaves are nice
I really like how this thistle fits atop the great background color and the canvas weave. Beautiful!

You are almost half way there in your 100 day challenge and such a variation you have given us. The thistle is the emblem of Scotland, the leek for Wales, the shamrock for Ireland and the rose for England, just by-the-way!
You are doing a beautiful job, keep em coming ;)
I have many Scottish collectables with thistle, including a grandfather's clock. Very nice.
Your backyard paintings are such an inspiration...I need to check my backyard. I will be back often to see what you paint next.
Thank you everyone! Diana, I did not know that the leek was the emblem of Wales!
