About this piece

The carnation is the traditional January birth flower - a symbol of love, admiration, resilience, and deep affection. As a January girl, this flower carries a special kind of meaning for me: memories, identity, and the gentle pull I’ve been feeling lately to reconnect with it. Carnations are winter’s bright note - color and softness appearing even in the coldest months, reminding us that beauty persists, even when everything else is quiet. How beautiful is this message? :)

I painted this carnation as part of my Birth Flower Art Print Collection, a year‑long botanical series celebrating the traditional flowers associated with each month. Each piece is created in my signature Studio Reta style: soft color, clean composition, and a modern interpretation of classic botanical illustration. This print is perfect for anyone born in January, for families building a birth‑month gallery wall, or for anyone who feels drawn to the symbolism of devotion, strength, and enduring love.
