A mid-century still life of wild thistles arranged in a simple vase, set against a warm yellow ground. The spiky purple heads and loose green stems create a lively, slightly untame d arrangement, while the soft tablecloth and pale vase keep the composition calm and balanced. Painted with confident, expressive brushwork, the flowers feel full of movement without becoming busy. The warm yellow background gives the piece a gentle glow and makes the cooler greens and purples stand out beautifully. The painting has an easy decorative quality — characterful but relaxed — and sits comfortably within any interior. Oil on canvas by artist Borje Holm (Sweden, 1892-1973), signed lower left. Dimensions 48x55cm framed. Show more
