Lilac Spring

Today as I was out and about, I came across some lilacs in bloom. I pulled over to the side of the road and pulled out my sketchbook.

I liked the composition of the scene in front of me, with the contrast of the dark greens of the lilac bushes with their pale coloured flowers against the bright greens of the fields in behind them.















I like the drawing and it has the potential to make an interesting painting.

Before I left, I made sure to take a number of reference photographs as I never know how long it will be before I actually start the painting.
