This painting 'The Succulent Seller' was inspired by William Adolphe Bouguereau, a famous classical artist from the 1890s. I used my own houseplants as a reference, except for the String of Pearls, as mine isn't as long as the one in the painting. As my houseplants are right behind my easel it felt great to be working from life for some of this work. This is the first painting from my classical houseplant series.
Painting took around a year to create.
