Wildflower Celebration – Abstract Floral Oil Painting by Navy Sloth

Wildflower Celebration was painted on a warm, sunny summer morning in 2024. I remember sitting in the conservatory-turned-studio, enjoying breakfast as a cool breeze drifted through the open doors. As I gazed up at the sky and closed my eyes, I was suddenly filled with the vision of a swirling, colourful haze—like a kaleidoscope of dots dancing behind my eyelids. That fleeting, vibrant moment became the inspiration for this joyful piece.

The Process

The background was created by dragging oil paint across the canvas with a palette knife, building rich layers of movement and texture. Once dry, I used fine-nozzled tubes to apply thinned oil paint, creating wild, carefree grasses that wave through the scene. I followed this with the first layer of colourful oil paint droplets—forming the abstract florals—and let it dry once more.

To finish, I returned with the nozzled tubes to add my signature wildflower outlines, layering even more droplets to bring everything into a bright, buzzing balance. The final result is a vibrant, energetic painting bursting with colour, texture, and life—an abstract celebration of wildflowers that seem to dance across the canvas.
