"Siberian Iris Impressions" by Ann McCann 11 X 14" Watercolor
Irises are a gift to us, so old-fashion and yet contemporary, with their stylized petals both reaching to the sky and flowing down to the earth.
White Tipped Peony by Ann McCann 6 X 9" Watercolor
This week I am painting peonies in many different ways!
The Slab by Ann McCann 9 X 12" Plein Air Oil
We painted outdoors in Llano TX for three days this spring. We painted at the Slab, where there are great hunks of pink granite on the Llano River. One rock section spans the river, and cars can cross the water there. It’s a gorgeous spot that looks more like a moonscape, all pink and blue.

Painted Bunting Pair by Ann McCann 12 X 12" Watercolor

The weeds in your backyard can be quite beautiful!
Azalea Afternoon by Ann McCann 7 X 7" Watercolor
I painted at the Dallas Arboretum last week, trying to hide myself a bit. The place was mobbed, as it was spring break. But people found me, surrounded me, and asked many questions. I loosely captured the walls of colorful azaleas.
Robin's Nest by Ann McCann 12 x 12" Watercolor

I’m feeling the need to create many small paintings with all the flower options in the spring.
Laura's Wildflowers by Ann McCann 9 x 12" Plein Air Oil
Now that it is spring here in Texas, I have wildflowers on my mind. I painted this plein air in the Laura Bush wildflower fields behind the George Bush Library. Included here are basket flowers, horsemint and firewheel. It is available at the Dutch Art Gallery in Dallas.
