The lilacs are coming and going so quickly, I am afraid this will be the last lilac painting for the year! Maybe I need to take a week off work each year when the lilacs bloom - that, I think, will be the only way to get enough time in to capture them all on canvas! I like the square composition in this one.

I have been trying to take the odd break from the grain elevator series to work on a few dailies...and the lilacs are irresistable! This is the first lilac painting this season, and I am looking forward to them all fully blooming so I can try my hand at a few more. I loved painting the rich purples of this little sprig of blossoms!

This is another of the cherry paintings...before the breakup! I am really enjoying painting the shiny surface and rich reds! There just never seems to be an end to the subject matter around me to paint...the only thing in short supply is the time. My grain elevator series has kept me quite busy lately. Now the dailies are like a treat for me!
