Exploring freedom in the form of flowers, combining abstract, dream-like elements alongside subtle realism. Capturing a romantic spirit, rhythm and peace, through our connections within nature.
Floral paintings have a powerful emotional impact on viewers, with many people finding solace and comfort in floral artworks. Vibrant colours, delicate details, and serene compositions can uplift spirits, evoke joy and hope, and provide inspiration. Floral paintings can also evoke nostalgia and longing. They remind us of the fleeting nature of life and the beauty that exists in every moment. Like life itself, flowers are transient and ephemeral, and paintings of flowers capture these fleeting moments, allowing us to pause and appreciate the beauty that surrounds us.

TALENT PRIZE WINNER - Teravarna ‘8th Color’ 2024 International Juried Art Competition
-
Cherry blossoms symbolize the transient nature of life, as they bloom only for a short period each year. They often represent beauty, renewal, and the ephemeral nature of existence.
The art of transient beauty and the traditional Japanese custom of Hanami (flower viewing) formed my inspiration for this painting. Using oils, I first created the bokeh style background to highlight the delicate cherry blossoms, in an almost 3-D style, forming an essence of alchemy throughout. Working in sections across this large canvas, my aim was to create a sense of gentle fluidity and harmony within the vibrant hues of blue, green and pinks orbs.

Cherry blossoms symbolize the transient nature of life, as they bloom only for a short period each year. They often represent beauty, renewal, and the ephemeral nature of existence.
Continuing with my inspiration to represent both transformation and transient beauty within nature, I wanted to create a piece that captured an almost spiritual essence of alchemy. The bokeh style background of vibrant hues of blues and pinks swirl gently in a soft, out-of-focus fluidity, accentuating the delicacy of the cherry blossoms.

NATURE’S EMBRACE

This is an ORIGINAL PAINTING of rose by Charmaine Boyle. A 1/1 that will never be repainted.
-
Roses, with their delicate petals and brilliant hues, are often associated with love and passion. In traditional art, roses can evoke feelings of passion and beauty, reflecting the intensity of love or serving as a metaphor for the fleeting aspect of life.
For me this painting is about more than the beauty of a rose, it’s about finding moments for yourself… remembering someone long gone who loved roses and had a garden full of them, and enjoying how something so sweet and pure can transport you away to another time and place and offer a smile along with a gentle embrace.
To be fed by wildness is to desire nature so deeply you find bliss
everywhere. Every day. Every hour.
Waiting. Reaching for you.’

The art of transient beauty and the traditional Japanese custom of Hanami formed my inspiration for this painting.

Cherry blossoms symbolize the transient nature of life, as they bloom only for a short period each year. They often represent beauty, renewal, and the ephemeral nature of existence.
Using oils and painting in sections across this large canvas, I first painted the bokeh style background to accentuate the fragility of the cherry blossoms, which were painted last.

Roses, with their delicate petals and brilliant hues, are often associated with love and passion. In traditional art, roses can evoke feelings of passion and beauty, reflecting the intensity of love or serving as a metaphor for the fleeting aspect of life.
I wanted to paint a statement rose to symbolising love and purity. Creating a dramatic and minimalist background firstly, I continued to work on painting each petal, focusing on both colour and light with the addition of delicate water droplets cascading over the petals. Intricate details of reflection and transparency create a sense of striking delicacy within this piece.

This is an ORIGINAL PAINTING of roses by Charmaine Boyle.

The allure of a dying rose lies in its ability to reflect the nuanced emotions of surrender and acceptance. My inspiration was to portray the delicate dance between strength and vulnerability and the beauty woven into every stage of existence. As with all my paintings, I started by creating the soft bokeh style background first. I worked in layers while painting the roses, returning to add further glazes to enhance and highlight their delicacy and fading vibrancy.

My inspiration behind this piece was to capture a moment within nature that conjures up memories of childhood and carefree innocence. Growing up in South Africa, every year the fields on the farm were covered in these beautiful wild flowers that, as a child, I would love to go wade through and pick. Using oil paints, I created a soft out-of-focus background to emphasizes the delicate cosmos, set in a field of vivid greens, yellows and splashes of blue and purple.
