I used the Memileo 360 impasto brushes for this piece. Some of them I modified in the brush editor here and there. My inspiration is learning how to apply directional light, shadow and color to my paintings on my own. I put this composition together using bits and pieces of different reference photos of derelict buildings and flowers, but applied my own lighting.

Gorgeous Hollyhocks! 
My neighbor had some when I was a kid! Hummingbirds and bees a plenty! 
Wow, this is so good! Not only it is such a pleasant scene to look at, but the execution was amazing. Great brushwork!

Beautiful work. And thanks for the playback. It was really interesting to watch and for me it was also very instructional.
@Kevin_Manion Thank you. I post time-lapse videos of my work because that’s what really helped me learn to paint. I watched lots of time-lapse videos of digital painting on YouTube. 
Your light and texture play is always crispy!
It’s a very strong drawing. The palette is harmonious, stunning detail and realism. Good light and glare delivery. Well done. 
Очень сильный рисунок. Палитра гармонична, потрясающая детализация и реализм. Удачная подача света и бликов. Молодец.
