Leaves in a jar - Original Oil Painting - Botanical Propagation Art - 8x8 inches

A celebration of new growth and natural beauty.

"Leaves in a Jar" is a refreshing original oil painting that captures the simple joy of plant propagation. The artwork features variegated green and yellow pothos cuttings placed in a charming, clear glass jar with a gold wire handle. The transparency of the glass is masterfully rendered, revealing the submerged stems and the play of light through the water. The vibrant greenery stands out beautifully against a soft, dreamy background of pastel pink, lavender, and blue brushstrokes, while the jar casts a distinct cool blue shadow that adds depth to the composition.

Painted on a hand-primed cradled wood canvas, the piece radiates organic energy. Alai’s signature impasto brushwork mimics the waxy texture of the leaves and the shimmering reflections on the glass, making a humble botanical experiment feel like a precious jewel. It’s the perfect piece for plant lovers, bringing a permanent touch of spring to any room.

Why this original brings life to your wall:
