This is beautiful...oh and how I love lilacs, my Mom used to grow them and we would have vases of them around the house every spring. They don't grow down here in Mississippi, so I have to be content with Casswell~Massey Lilac soap!

Just beautiful! Lilacs are so fragrant and so delicate and of course being in the "purple" family, I love them!

Lila, this is absolutely lovely.

I adore lilacs and their perfume, I always cut a few for the cottage so their scent fills the rooms.

Beautiful, I love lilacs, but I don't have any in my yard.

On hot pressed paper? Is that to make a transfer onto fabric? I'm ignorant about this.

wow Lila your watercolors take my breath away - I love these lilacs. G grew up with them everywhere and to this day the scent of them reminds him of childhood.
XOXO

Note: Hot pressed watercolor paper is smooth and almost slick. I usually use cold pressed which has wonderful texture to"grab and hold" the paint. Paper is pressed as it is manufactured...
