In Walkerville, one of the most awaited signs of spring's arrival is when the lilac trees begin to bloom. It seems that every alleyway in this old neighbourhood has at least one lilac tree peeking over a fence. There are white lilacs, and purples of varying hues. The wind spreads their scent so that my daily walk seems more luxurious than usual! I will probably sketch the trees themselves another day. They're blooming especially early this year. We have hardly had a winter at all, and it seems spring has a month's head start.
I had to resist the urge to add more detail. I don't usually work so loose, but overworking a sketch can really be a shame. I like the simplicity.
