Wildflower Hip Hoppin – Funky Abstract Floral Painting by Navy Sloth
Wildflower Hip Hoppin is a bold, joyful oil painting bursting with vibrant colours, wild botanical shapes, and unapologetic attitude. This funky floral piece combines freestyle texture with my signature wildflower style—and of course, the iconic Navy Sloth daisies make a playful appearance throughout.
Mesmerising and effortlessly stylish, this painting is part of my wildflower series, born in early 2024 after a creative pause. Having taken a break from painting when my youngest daughter was born in 2022, I came back to the canvas with a fresh perspective and a heart full of joy. Life had become a whirlwind of toys, nursery rhymes, and fingerpains—and I was ready to pour that vibrant energy into something beautiful.
The Inspiration
I’ve always loved wildflowers—how carefree and unbothered they are, swaying in the breeze, existing in their own whimsical world. This painting became a reflection of that, and of my own journey back to art. It’s colourful, confident, and full of life—just like the days I spend with my two little girls.
The Process
The background was created with a palette knife, pulling thick layers of oil paint across the canvas to build texture and motion. Once dry, I added flowing grass shapes with thin nozzled tubes of thinned oil paint. From there, I dropped in the first layer of abstract floral forms with vibrant oil droplets. The daisies were painted boldly with visible brushstrokes and thick paint, and finally, my signature wildflowers and more droplets were added to complete this energetic floral jam session on canvas.
