Pink Rose on Chartreuse (Left Facing) by Ann McCann 20 X 20 Oil

February 29, 2016

I painted this to go with my right-facing Crimson Rose on Blue.  The duo would really brighten up a room.  The sides of the gallery wrap canvases are painted and do not need to be framed. They have a very contemporary look.

Crimson Rose on Blue by Ann McCann 20 X 20 Oil

February 15, 2016

I have been working on this  concept for a while, making small roses throughout January.  It was really fun to make this big one, using what I had learned with the smaller ones.  Now I want to make a pink one to pair with this.  This is an "eye knocker" with the reds, oranges and turquoises.

Autumn at the Lake by Ann McCann 11 X 14 Oil

February 09, 2016

This is plein air painting I did at White Rock Lake in Dallas.  I recently re-worked it with a knife and heightened the color.  We really do get some intense color here in late November.  I love the bright oranges/reds of the trees against the blue of the water and sky.  If you like color, this is the painting for you.

30 Day Painting Challenge Collage by Ann McCann

February 01, 2016

Here are 25 of the 30 paintings I created in this January 2016 30 Day Painting Challenge.  I had 2 themes, Roses and Winter's Bones. This is the first weekend since Christmas that I haven't painted 3 or 4 paintings! I enjoyed working with both themes.  I could generally use roses from my own yard.  Which did you like the best?

30 Day Challenge- Day 30 Winter's Bones XI. "Snowy Woods" 9 X 12 Oil by Ann McCann

January 30, 2016

 

Well, this is the last day of the painting challenge.  Since the Northeast is buried in snow, I thought I would paint a snow picture.  This scene is in Texas but one a year ago.  It makes me think of the Robert Frost poem, "the woods are lovely, dark and deep."  My artist friend said Dallasites never buy snow paintings, so maybe one of my Northern friends will be interested!

30 Day Challenge- Day 29. Winter's Bones X "My Crape" by Ann McCann 5 X 7 Oil

January 29, 2016 in Landscape Paintings

This is a beautiful old crape myrtle in front of my house.  It is probably from the early 1920s.  We lost a big piece of it in an ice storm several years ago, but it still looks great all year round.  There are giant bright pink blooms all summer and the shiny apricot bark all winter.

30 Day Challenge- Day 28.Winter's Bones IX "Last Light" by Ann McCann 5 X 7 Oil

January 28, 2016 in Landscape Paintings

I caught the last light over the lake in this painting.  The sky was glowing and the water shimmered with oranges and pinks.  The dark tree skeleton and shore anchored the scene.
