★★★★★Fun Funky Lilac Art by Deborah Carney

I received this book through LibraryThing Member's Giveaway, in exchange for my honest review.

I really liked this book. This a picture book of lilacs. They are paintings. They are labeled as to the different types, but they all look pretty similar. I would not be able to tell you what kind it was without the name. This is full of wonderful pictures. I'd like a few up them on my wall.

Thank you to the author for sharing the wonderful artwork with me. ( )

Bold colors and great images. A perfect page turner to enjoy. ( )

Photos of lilacs that have been “arted” up. I like her photography so much that to see the art in these ruins the pictures. I would have preferred the lilacs in their nature beauty so I could have learned what they look like and learn more about them. ( )

Wow, I had no idea that there are so many different types of lilacs! The illustrations are very beautiful, and I have been a fan of the artist/author for a while as it is. I can't wait to get my hands on the next book! ( )

Fourteen different species of lilac specimens feature in various poses, with the images digitally altered? to appear like fuzzy oil paintings. The name of each lilac is typed directly below each image which detracted esoterically from each plate. I would have preferred a footnote on each plate.
It's just a matter of taste really. I would have enjoyed this book more had I been able to see the original photo clear pictures of these lilacs in their natural setting especially since we can't grow them up here. ( )
