Heart of Lilac, Mirrored Purple Lilac Clusters

Two clusters of purple lilac blossoms mirror each other across the center of a horizontal image. The flowers range from deep violet to soft lavender and pink and sit against a blurred green and olive background. The whole surface has a swirling, thick oil-paint texture, and a few small lilac florets appear along the bottom edge.

Most lilac art shows one loose bunch. This one is two clusters mirrored across a center seam, so they meet in a shape that reads as a heart or a butterfly. The surface is thick and swirling, like raised oil paint, and the colour runs from deep violet at the centers of the blooms to soft lavender and pink against a blurred green and olive ground. Someone wants it because the symmetry and the texture stop the eye, and because it brings a lot of purple into a room without being fussy.
