Teh Siew Joo is best known for his paintings of flowers in watercolour, and this work demonstrates his robust handling of the medium. The artist successfully captures the blossoming flowers by using a contrast of pink, yellow and green colours. At the edges of the leaf foliage, the artist has produced a stunning wash effect, resulting in a soft, dream-like aura.
