Her paintings are a celebration of the joys of motherhood and domestic life but she also painted portraits and less feminine subjects such as Meal Time or Man Eating Polenta. Other works by Delacroix-Garnier include: An Obliging Listener: The Lion Become Old (1880); Marie the Gardener (1891); Mers Beach (1893); Woman Reading (1894); Two Smiles (1895); Far from Paris (1896); A Game of Cards; 'Quinte et quatorze' (1897) and Jules Garnier - M. Descombes - M. Monchicourt.. She exhibited at the Salon des Artistes Français from 1880 until her death. In 1895 Pauline Delacroix-Garnier was awarded the Grand Prix by the Union des Femmes Peintres et Sculpteurs (union of women painters and sculptors), of which she became vice president. In 1909 she received a bronze medal at the Paris Salon. She was also made an Officier d'Académie. She published a Self-taught Watercolour Course in Three Stages ( Cours d'Aquarelle, en Trois États, Sans Professeur).
