"Picking Wildflowers" is a notable painting by the Scottish artist Edward Atkinson Hornel, who was a prominent figure in the Glasgow Boys, a group of influential artists in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Created in 1894, this work exemplifies Hornel's distinctive style, which often combined elements of Impressionism with a strong decorative quality influenced by Japanese art and the Arts and Crafts movement.

The painting depicts a group of young girls in a lush, vibrant landscape, engaged in the activity of picking wildflowers. Hornel's use of rich, textured brushstrokes and a vivid color palette brings the scene to life, capturing the natural beauty of the Scottish countryside and the innocence of childhood. The composition is characterized by its dynamic arrangement and the harmonious integration of figures and environment, reflecting Hornel's keen observation of nature and his ability to convey a sense of spontaneity and joy.

Hornel's interest in Japanese art is evident in the flattened perspective and the decorative approach to the depiction of flora, which adds a unique aesthetic dimension to the work. This influence was a result of his travels to Japan in the early 1890s, which had a profound impact on his artistic development. The painting also reflects the broader cultural and artistic trends of the time, including the fascination with exoticism and the emphasis on decorative arts.

"Picking Wildflowers" is celebrated for its technical mastery and its evocative portrayal of a pastoral idyll. It remains an important example of Hornel's contribution to Scottish art and his role in the broader context of European art movements at the turn of the century. The painting is part of the collection at the Kirkcudbright Galleries in Scotland, where it continues to be admired by art enthusiasts and scholars alike.
