It is hot and I am sitting out in it facing the lilacs. My head is a bit woozy from the heat. Marshall is in the neighbour's wadding pool, that is how hot it is. Our lilacs are challenging to paint. Lilacs form clusters of over a hundred individual flowers and each flower has many pointy petals. This is not your regular smooth petalled lilac.
The intense greens in the shadows give it a jungle aesthetic. I like the cookie cutter feel of the pale leaves against the dark background.
