There’s something magical about marigolds. Their bold colour, sun-soaked petals, and radiant energy are pure summer. When I painted this floral piece, I wasn’t just capturing flowers—I was capturing a feeling.
It began in a moment of creative freedom. I let go of perfection, stopped overthinking, and returned to what matters most in my art: playful, intuitive painting.
It’s easy to forget that, isn’t it? We get caught up in doing things the “right” way—controlled strokes, safe choices, predictable outcomes. But abstract floral art—like life—isn’t meant to be predictable. It’s meant to be alive.
Just as summer was slipping away, I plucked fresh marigolds from my garden, brought them into the studio, and painted quickly—driven by the energy of the moment. I didn’t have long, but that urgency made the process feel even more vibrant and electric.
The result is a piece that feels fresh, spontaneous, and joyfully imperfect—a true reflection of the season and the freedom of creating from instinct.
A Turning Point in My Creative Process
Creating this vibrant summer wall art was a turning point for me. These marigolds didn’t just bloom in the studio—they helped something bloom in me. I rediscovered the joy of bold, expressive painting. And it felt exciting.
This artwork reminds me of what summer feels like:
☀️ Bright, vibrant, full of energy
🌼 Alive with colour and movement
🎨 Free from limits or rules
And it carries that same energy into any room where it hangs.
Bright, bold, and full of life — the Marigolds print captures the warmth of summer and the joy of intuitive painting. A vibrant addition to any creative space.
Why Play Matters in Art (and Life)
Play brings life. It brings movement, joy, spontaneity. When I allow myself to play with colour, texture, and form, I create work that feels joyful and alive. That’s exactly what this modern botanical print represents:
- A moment of creative freedom
- The warmth and energy of summer
- The bold joy of living (and painting) intuitively
