This charming pair of original oil on canvas-on-board paintings features delicate floral still lifes, showcasing a vibrant bouquet of purple daisies in one and warm pink roses in the other. Both works are housed in ornate, layered gilt frames with linen-textured inserts, typical of mid-to-late 20th-century decorative art. The paintings are clearly signed by the artist in the lower corner. Celia Walsh-Diehl was a prolific South African artist known primarily for her traditional still life studies, with a specialized focus on floral arrangements. Born in Bloemhof, her career spanned several decades, during which she became a familiar name in the South African art market. Her work is characterized by a soft, romanticized style and a mastery of botanical detail, often captured in small-to-medium formats. Her paintings frequently appear in local fine art auctions and are sought after by collectors of traditional South African floral art.
Condition: The artworks themselves appear well-preserved with vibrant colors. However, one of the frames show visible signs of wear, including a significant chip and crack at the back corner. Dimensions: 32.5cm x 27.5cm
