My mother loves flowers, whether it be her garden, floral pieces, or displaying art that's flowers. It became a great influence for me growing up, and something I love now. I explored and found floral artists such as Rachel Ruysch, who is a painter. Her work is dedicated to painting floral still life that made her a famous painter. It inspired me to paint some flowers from my own backyard. In addition, Bob Ross is another landscape painter that inspires me. I plan on painting a landscape on canvas, further on, however I did a quick sketch. The setting will be mountain landscape with many colorful florals and trees. I will also incorporate my own house and mother in it.
