Lilacs - for so many reasons!   They have such a beautiful array of color - from pale lavender to deep, rich magenta... and everything in between.  They are graceful and have such a delightful scent.
They are a great subject to paint, and the painting brings bold splash of color to any location. 

Shown above unframed, framed, and what it might look like on a wall in a room.
