Title: Wildflower Hip Hoppin – Fine art print

Wildflower Hip Hoppin is a funky floral oil painting with attitude! It’s bursting with vibrant colours, wild botanical shapes and freestyle texture. Of course it also features my signature wildflower style and iconic Navy Sloth daisies. I love how effortlessly stylish and mesmorising it is. It’s part of my wildflower series that I decided to create at the beginning of 2024. I’d recently begun painting again after taking a creative break when my youngest was born in 2022. I had already dabbled with a few abstract pieces just before Christmas and was keen to create something bright, happy and full of joy. I guess on reflection I was pouring my inner happiness onto canvas, the hidden artist within dying to escape once more. My life had changed so much, now a mum of two beautiful little girls, time was precious and life was a fun little bubble rammed with toys, nursery rhymes and fingerpaints!

I decided on wildflowers as I had always loved how beautiful and carefree they were in appearence and manner, just bobbing along in the breeze, content in their own little world. I created the background using a palette knife, where I dragged the oil paint around the canvas to create movement and texture. Once dry I added the carefree style grass using thin nozzle tubes of thinned oil paint, and added my first layer of oil paint droplets to create gorgeous abstract pretties. I painted daisies, keeping the brushstrokes visible through thickly applied paint. My signature style wildflowers were then added and layers of oil droplets completed the piece.

 

 

Artist Bio:

Hi, I'm Jess aka the Navy Sloth. I'm a part time artist and full time mum of two beautiful little girls. I paint as often as my limited spare time allows and love every second of it. I'm based in Cardiff, and paint in my little studio within our home. It's my little corner where I can switch off for a few hours and just be my creative self (it's meant to be a toy free zone but somehow they have crept in slowly - you know how it is!)

I create semi abstract wildflower paintings on canvas, combining my illustrative skills with a bold abstract style. My work is vibrant, fun and full of texture, perfect to add a splash of colour to any wall!
