Yesterday was Monday, there was the usual painting lesson and I brought home the work I had done in the previous lesson, a plate 20 x 30 cm with a subject a bit 'unusual, the thistle flowers in modern style, a bit 'colorful and a bit' in shades of gray with patches black flowers of color that highlight the design in its simplicity, giving a touch of unpredictability to the whole.
The flower is easy to draw, you throw the stain, marking also the center if visible as in the three flowers on top and then with the fine brush # 5 is "ruffles" design to derive the filaments hairy.
Introduced in the eastern US in 1800 is considered an invasive species that must be eradicated, black flowers in fact the herds in the pastures do not eat them preferring other plants and thistle can safely expand black flowers at the expense of other plant species.
Many legends are associated with this flower, in the Aryan mythology was associated with Thor, the god of war and the Scots elected him a symbol of their homeland, it is said that a group of Vikings is to surprise the Scots in their sleep, but one of the invaders began the foot on a thistle plant and putting screaming woke the Scots who managed to defeat the invaders.
