Lisa David Waiting for Lilacs Oil Painting

Eastline Road in Ballston Lake, Saratoga County in Upstate New York was the kind or road you could drive down on a moonlit night with your car lights off. I did it once. It only had 3-4 farms on it. This old farmhouse was one of the more prominent homes, framed with its towereing lilacs that would bloom every May. I call this Waiting for Lilacs. It was so hard not to paint little purple flowers, but I wanted to honor the history and stability of the home.
