Lilac by the Grape Arbor 18"x24" Oil

Although I planted the two Lilac bushes on our place many years ago, yet I do not recall painting either, as a prominent part of a landscape, before doing this painting. I love the scent and color of Lilac, yet in our region it's not as strong, and its presence is not prevalent as it is in other states like New Mexico or Idaho where it grows naturally.
