Carnations in multitude

Carnations en masse, acrylic and Molotow on canvas,

I bought a big bunch of spray carnations for a commission (which is to be a gift and so I am not posting it until after it is given). Carnations last for weeks (well, quite a long time), so I'm determined to make the most of them...

Side, acrylic on canvas, 7x7cm

"White carnations suggest pure love and good luck [...] dark red represents deep love and affection. [...] Pink carnations carry the greatest significance, beginning with the belief that they first appeared on earth from the Virgin Mary's tears – making them the symbol of a mother's undying love."
