After a fun day planting flowers with Gus, and playing outdoors with Michaela, Casper and Kirby, I find a little time to honor these beautiful blooms. My old-fashioned lilacs are blooming - and I just HAD to paint them before heading inside! Planted by my grandmother many years ago, I wonder if she ever dreamed I would one day be painting them each spring? I remember her picking the fragrant blooms and bringing them into the house, where the rooms filled with their sweet aroma. I was quite young, but I have such clear memories of the light on the blooms, and sticking my nose right into the flowers and inhaling deeply! I'm so happy to paint these and relive sweet memories of days gone by. Painting number 3753 in 3753 days.
