A Splash of Lilacs

 

It's still too cold here for my lilac tree produce flower buds or even a leaf, but I wanted to create an art piece to portray their beauty, and to help promote their growth.

Lilacs were my mother's favorite flower. I used to cut several branches of blooms and bring them to her on mother's day. Seeing the lilacs, and smelling their amazing fragrant scent, always makes me think fondly of my mother.

In this artwork, I matched the colors of the lilacs and leaves to create a fun splash background.

I'll share a photo when the real lilacs are in bloom.

A Snack While Reading

On the weekend, while the pizza was cooking in the oven, I designed this piece of some books, flowers, a cupcake, and a cup of hot chocolate with marshmallows...some of my favourite things.

I watched an art tutorial from an artist I follow on YouTube on how to make a sticker background. Her instructions were so easy to follow, that I mastered it within a few tries. I can now transfer a lot of my art pieces into stickers. :-)
