It's that time of year when flowers are beginning to bloom. Every year at this time I paint lilacs. I love everything about them. They smell so great and they remind me of when I was a child playing in my mother's yard. She had huge lilacs growing in various shades of purple. Their fragrance was like heaven!  Here is a watercolor I painted a few days ago.
