Summer Resilience

Day 15 of my 100 Days, 100 Paintings Challenge

30cm × 25cm | Original Oil Painting | Expressionist Floral | Palette Knife & Brushwork

Celebrate the enduring beauty of nature with Summer Resilience, an original expressionist oil painting inspired by the vibrant elegance of pink echinacea flowers. Painted in rich oils with expressive texture and energetic mark making, this contemporary floral captures the strength, colour and vitality that continue to flourish long after the height of summer.

Created as part of my 100 Days, 100 Paintings Challenge, this piece reflects my ongoing exploration of a freer, more intuitive approach to painting. Bold turquoise blues provide a striking backdrop for the luminous pink petals, while layers of textured oil paint create depth, movement and light that change beautifully throughout the day.

Rather than striving for botanical perfection, the painting celebrates the character and spirit of the flowers. Confident brushstrokes and expressive colour invite the viewer to experience the joy, resilience and quiet optimism found in the natural world.

Its uplifting palette makes it an ideal statement piece for contemporary interiors, bringing warmth, energy and a fresh connection with nature into any living space.
