The Lilac16x20 PLEIN AIR PAINTING |
No, this is not a purple bougainvillea!!! It's a lilac! BUT I have no section, for this gorgeous blooming bush....so, this is just to see if anyone is reading all this!!!
I use to have a "second family" that lived in town, before they moved back to Florida, that lived in this house.
Each spring I would fall in love with their lilac tree, only to wish I had painted it, when it was no longer in bloom.
Well, I finally settled down and began. After working on it for hours, I lost interest...or was just too blooming (excuse the expression) tired, to finish it. And the blooms fell, before I got back to it!
The following year, I grab the panel, and went back to finish it. However, meantime, Linda tore out the back door, and window, and put up a new porch!? I had enough on my original painting, to hold true to the original house, and finally finished the painting...12 months later!
