Description:
Circle of Grace offers a tender portrait of Euphorbia milii, the Crown of Thorns, captured in one of its softest moods. The flowers gather in a gentle cluster, each bract shaped like a smooth petal painted in shades of blush, peach, and rose. Their surfaces carry subtle marbling, as if touched lightly by watercolor.

At the center of each bloom sits a tiny ring of golden seeds, delicate and unassuming, lending a quiet balance to the bright softness around them. The background melts into cool greens, guiding the eye back to the warm circle of blossoms that seem to float like little notes of calm.

In this composition, the Crown of Thorns transforms into a symbol of quiet beauty. It becomes an arrangement of tenderness and resilience, a reminder that even the humblest flowers can form a moment of grace when seen with care.
