The Purple of Lilacs


Is there anything more purple then Lilacs? Maybe, but to me if I think purple I think Lilacs.


Lilacs bloom in early May. There is a lot to be said about having a large vase of Lilacs by your bed as you drift off to sleep with that glorious smell.


I always get caught up in the drama and romance of them. It is interesting how the scent can conjure up memories and I am in a time machine taken back to another time and place. The fragrance takes me back to a time as a child on the farm playing in the warm spring air under the Lilac bush. The lilac was so old it was more like a tree then a bush. Climbing its gnarly branches and siting up so high where no one could see me, I would read my adventures of places I wanted to see in the lilacs.

Can you smell the lilacs through my words?

Pear

Pears are so much fun to paint, I keep going back to them. I'm not sure which I like to paint more pears or peppers? My tomato's are are ripe in the garden so I will be canning at some point today. I am a very visual person, what ever is in my visual field at the moment is the most real thing for me. So what ever activity I start has a lot to do with what I paint. I bet I end up with some paintings of tomato's before the day is over. Now off to the post office to ship paintings that have sold.
