Framed.24" x 18.5". The same lilacs as the last painting, but done here as an engraving. Mom dabbled in woodcuts, engraving and printing in the early '70s. She enjoyed it and was good at it, but the cost of equipment and the space it required turned her away from this medium. The photo really doesn't do this justice: the level of precision and detail in the flowers and leaves is fantastic, much closer to her line drawing style than to her free flowing painting.
