Flowers andAbstract Landscapes

“Lennox is a magical mixture of sea, sand and sunshine – often overlaid by a blanket of soft salt spray.  These landscape abstracts are my musings on the patterns found on the beach, the trees, the seaweed, foam on the beach and mysterious patterns in the sand. “

I have been captivated by the fleeting beauty and stories of flowers for many years now - to me they represent life - it has been said that in a flower you find birth, sex and death. For me capturing a flower in my painting is capturing a moment in time.  My most recent body of work was started during 2020 Lockdown and continues now. I have been drawn into layering in symbols of hope through the motif of moon and flowers - all of which have their own messages. Many of these flowers deliver strong memories of my time growing up in South Africa as well as living in England and, of course, here in Australia. 

 

'He Brought me Flowers' -  Kay Knights 

Cosmos are one of my most favourite flowers ever - I love their fragility that comes with a very tough resilient nature that allows them to bloom en masse in some fields across Africa - you could drive around a large bend and be met by a carpet of colour for miles! The Hoopoe bird is native to Africa and are distinctive for their crown of feathers - they were considered sacred in Ancient Egypt and were depicted on the walls of tombs and temples. When you give a bunch of cosmos flowers you are giving the person the universe! The flowers symbolise order, harmony and balance.

'The Light Within' -  Kay Knights 

As women we try so hard to be everything for everyone. We don’t spend much time looking and reflecting on the incredible strength and beauty that is inside each and every one of us. There is a light inside all of us – we just have to let it shine and acknowledge it.  In legends, the Peony is linked to healing and attraction, and since the Chinese word for ‘Most beautiful’ also translates to “Peony” it makes sense that they are known to symbolise beauty and love. These Peonies in my works reflect the light and love inside us all.

'We are Stardust' -  Kay Knights 

This is a larger piece. Titles tend to come to me as I am painting and I just let them sit in my head for a while to see if anything more suitable presents itself. This one felt ethereal and I have been reading about extraordinary statistics about hydrogen in our bodies and that we can say that our bodies are over 90% stardust. I must say this really appeals to me! As women I feel we are really affected by the moon and stars alongside the fact we are also fragile yet incredibly strong. These are Peonies which symbolise love, beauty and happiness.

'I Am I Said' -  Kay Knights 

A smaller piece finished recently - oil on canvas. I was drawn to paint this - it's a reflection on being an older woman. We are still feeling all the things we did years ago and remembering how it felt to feel totally sensual and beautiful in a moment. As  women grow older we often feel 'unseen' but we are so very worthy and have earned every crease and imperfection - they all add to our story even if we aren't in the first lush of youth.

'Mother's Gift -  Kay Knights 

One of my mum's and my favourite spring flowers! Freesias are known for their delicate blooms and beautiful scents of citrus. Usually, pink freesias are seen to represent motherly love - the love that a mother has for her son or daughter. Yellow freesias symbolise the idea of joy and renewal. They can also be used to represent friendships and the true shared between friends.

The flowers were named after a botanist, Friedrich H.T. Freese, by a fellow botanist, Christian P. Ecklon. Named as a tribute to the friendship shared by the gentleman, the freesia's symbolism holds true to this initial origin.

'Where Wild Roses Grow'-  Kay Knights 

In ancient mythology Wild Roses are a powerful symbol of love and adoration. They are strongly associated with Aphrodite, the Greek goddess of beauty and love, who is often portrayed with a crown of roses around her head. These sweet scented, deep pink roses blossom all summer and are loved by bees and butterflies.

'Cycle of Life'-  Kay Knights 

I was gifted a beautiful blue waterlily by a lovely Japanese lady who also goes by the name 'Kay' in Australia. I felt compelled to paint it. In Greek culture waterlilies represent modesty while in Egyptian culture they symbolise unity of people. The Blue waterlily is especially revered due to its ability to produce fruits and blossom at the same time. As a result they stand for the cycle of life - birth and death as well as rebirth and is prominently featured in ancient Egyptian temples.

'Grace of Hours'-  Kay Knights 

This is titled 'Grace of Hours' taken from a little known poem by Robert Frost called Rose Pagonias after the flowers.

Hope this painting lets you feel the magnetic pull of nature around us.

'Road Tripping SA'-  Kay Knights 

Recalling road trips in South Africa where you could come around a corner and be met by fields of flowering Cosmos as far as the eye could see! I remember it as moments of pure wonder at their incredible beauty. Universal laws such as the theorem of Pythagoras, the tree of life of Kabbalah, the squaring of the circle or the merkabah, led to the Cosmos flower being associated with sacred geometry. This was used in the construction of churches as well as in temple construction, because there was conviction that the energy of the symbol would also be applied to it.  It radiates harmony and perfection of sacred geometry and stands for infinity and perfect order.

'Mum's African Violets 4'-  Kay Knights 

One of a series of 4 - memories of my mum's violets grown in South Africa. My mum grew the most amazing ones in our hallway that got the afternoon sun.

Growing African Violets is a spiritual experience in itself teaching us less is more and strength is in the spirit, helping us to understand balance.

'Send Me a Sign'-  Kay Knights 

The Christmas Cactus is spectacular and one I have been wanting to paint. There are a number of stories around the origins of the name. One of my favourites comes from Brazil which is the cactus' native land where they grow in shady humid forests above the ground in crooks of trees where moss and composted leave collect. The story goes that a young boy prayed for a sign of Christmas as a reprieve from the heat and humidity of the jungle. On Christmas Day he emerged from his hut to find the jungle had filled with the flowers of the cacti overnight.

This was an inward reflection for me - it feels slightly dreamlike. Hydrangeas were first cultivated in Japan and legend has it that a Japanese emperor gave blue hydrangeas to the family of a girl he loved to make up for neglecting her - they have become known for gratitude and understanding. Yellow as a colour symbolises trust, friendship, cheerfulness and optimism. Yellow Lillies represent joy and new beginnings.

It's symbolism is transformation, daring, diversity and courage - what we all might need right now.

'I Hear the Drums'-  Kay Knights 

This is a reflection on my years growing up in South Africa - the Africans have a wonderful feel for shape and colour and their heritage. My landscape layers colours using intuitive mark making for the patterns and shapes from experience and memory - a visual diary from the past.  This painting layers the symbolism of flowers on my abstract landscape. The beautiful contrasting colours of the (Strelitzia) Bird of Paradise flower typifies for me the people living in this beautiful troubled country. A flower of contrast and starkness yet such a glorious combination. The Strelitzia represents freedom and immortality.
