I remember how fragrant the house was when I brought these lilacs inside. I knew I wanted to create something special with them. Something that celebrated the month of April and the joy and beauty these flowers have come to represent in my life.⁠ ⁠

So I paired the lilacs with some pretty influential art books. The open book is a catalog of Gustav Klimt's art, the painting is "Lady with Fan". I love the symbology of the phoenix flying behind the lady on a field of millefleurs. ⁠ ⁠

The other books are about Childe Hassan, Winslow Homer, and Whistler. The Whistler book is of an exhibition of etchings and paintings completed in London. I still remember the day I went into DC to see this exhibition, then afterwards sitting under a tree and looking through the exhibition catalog and just absorbing the lessons of art even more. ⁠ ⁠
