FLORAL PAINTINGS COLLECTION
Canna Glory
This is Teyjah’s favourite of her floral collection, as she feels this was her first breakthrough painting. You can see how beautiful and wondrous this flower was, and the way it stood in all its glory before it faded away. The visual was captured in the wind, which she depicted well in the painting creating a sense of movement. There is a subtle blending of warm colours that demonstrates the artist’s experience and skill, and the use of complementary colours for the background completes this evocative and sunny painting. With watercolours, an artist usually works from the lightest to the darkest value; however, in this painting Teyjah totally reversed the process and worked from the darkest to the lightest.
“It is my pride and joy. It was a gift in the sense that the technique I used was different and unusual from what I usually did. Things just happened as I painted this, as though I was in just the right exploration mood for it all to come together in a unique way.”
