Lilacs



Watercolor
Arches 140#CP

I cannot pass a lilac shrub without thinking of my mom ... she grew only a few fragrant flowers -  roses and lilacs among her favorites.  She'd clip a few branches, bring them indoors, and the entire house would smell like heaven.

My own lilac bush, a mere 3 feet tall, has a long way to go before I will ever see these delightful purple blooms.  But I wait in eager anticipation for this floral link to my dearest mom.

Mmm. My favorite spring time flower -- I can almost smell the scent right now. I really like the way you shaded the blooms and made a little arrangement out of them -- ready to be handed to someone special.
Lovely all over!!
Hugs,
Lorraine
