Bishop's Lace (2015) Pintura por Tomislav Ivanišin

Bishop's lace

There is something graceful about bishop's lace. Come close to the flowers, watch and bedazzle yourselves.
Unknown specie to the most, I suppose.… or rather invisible and insignificant. Oh yes, I have walked by you so many times as if my eyes were shut. It makes me somewhat anxious. How much beauty am I just passing by? And it excites me at the same time. How much more beauty is just waiting to be looked at? 
I remember the moment I fell in love with this herb. In the late spring of 2013. my wife and I were preparing soil for planting some tomatoes, in our countryside house, in the village Drače on Pelješac peninsula.. I have been ruthlessly pulling a nice showpiece of that “weed” out. Ruthlessly and unsuccessfully, as bishop' s lace has a strong root. So I was in that common, primordial posture, bent over and struggling with a relentless plant when the filigree wonder struck my vision (to be precise, my face was struck too!). lt created an everlasting inspiration. I always go back to them.
