The crape myrtles are really that bright, especially in the hot sun.. 9 x 12 Oil by Ann McCann

I tried to capture the look of my street on a very hot day with the crape myrtles in full bloom.  I think I did it!  This is a palette knife painting of the crapes that border the street and my neighbor's  wonderful Arts and Crafts bungalow.  Our houses are on a hill above the street with curvy "waterfall" steps.
