The Take Over

Painting #10 Thistle in a Field, by Fidelia Bridges 1875 Wild and free, the thistle in a field sharpens its spine, stretches its long neck to kiss the sun. He is a runaway this out of control prodigal son absorbing the heat on a hot summer’s day racing to see who has out grown him in the shortest time during the siege and take over. He enjoys his freedom wildly predicting his an end time when he, with all the others will be cut down. He is one thistle in a field calling for unity.
