Dianthus- the scientific name of carnation , comes from a combination of two Latin words: “dios,” meaning gods, and “anthos,” meaning flower. Carnations are referred to as the flowers of the gods.
Carnation flowers are also thought to be one of the oldest cultivated flowers in the world.

Flowers of carnation symbolize Love, Fascination and Distinction.

I am the kind of person who's not very good at express feelings, therefore every painting of mine usually has a true intention behind it.
I accidentally cut my hand in studio few days ago. The wound was quit deep and it took me quite sometime to stanch the flow of blood and to calm down.
While I suffered from the pain , I thought about my family far away. I hope they are all healthy and well . I guess it's ok to spend some time missing someone you love.

Fortunately I cut my left hand so I still have my right hand functionable to paint, therefore I froze the intense emotion into this painting to heal both mentally and physically.

This is also a reminder - Gift the person you love, the person you care about a flower, a cup of hot tea, or a heartfelt "I Love you" or "I miss you" while you can, whenever you want.
For people who read the description till here, thank you for join me in my journey of art. I hope you enjoy it too.
