January Carnation & Garnet

Carnations have enjoyed a varied and rich history filled with symbolism and legend. They are thought to be one of the oldest cultivated flowers in the world. While the original carnation sported petals in shades of pink and peach, today’s cultivated varieties run the gamut from pure white and shades of pink and red to green, yellow and purple with many striped or variegated versions, too. The common meanings of carnations are: Love, Fascination and Distinction. . Garnet revitalizes, purifies and balances energy, bringing serenity or passion as appropriate. Inspires love and devotion. Garnet balances the sex drive and alleviates emotional disharmony. It activates and strengthens the survival instinct, bringing courage and hope. Acrylic painting on canvas.  8" X 10" X 1-1/2" (unframed) Framing option is available. I offer a custom floater frame from a local framing shop. It is solid wood in an antique gold finish which complements the painting very well with a dash of elegance. Please allow 2 weeks for your piece to be custom framed and shipped. It will arrive ready to hang. If you decide to purchase the painting without framing, please allow 5 business days for your painting to be shipped. The sides of the canvas are painted to match the background color and it will arrive ready to hang.
