(c)Ann McCann, "Holy City," oil on canvas, 8X8
I painted this for the Biblical Art Museum's 8X8 Exhibition & Auction. I took the photo for the painting at St Andrews Scottish Church across the valley from the Old City in Jerusalem. It was a beautiful sunset! The event is this Wednesday, November 16, 2016 from 7-10 pm.

This is the look of winter in Texas, high light with lots of yellows, pinks and purples. I used lots of thin color glazes to make the scene glow. I started this plein air and finished in my studio.
Here is the 3rd ink & water color painting I created for the 2016 Vickery Place Home Tour.

I painted this several years ago on a painting trip to France. Although the weather was cool in May, all the trees were blooming. I think the purple one is a jacaranda and the pink is a horse chestnut. What a lovely frame for the Eiffel Tower which is breathtaking itself. Great Day!

I plan to submit a painting to a Dallas gallery that put out a call for Old Master paintings. Of course we will indicate that these are reproductions. I have always admired this one by Monet with the dark red background. I have visited this garden and there are deep red trees there. Mine looks different since I used a palette knife rather than a brush. I have to decide if I am going to paint a much larger one?
I created this ink and water color home painting for the Vickery Place Home Tour as well as five others. I could do your home too!

(c)Tropical Red, White & Blue by Ann McCann 12 X 16 Oil, 2016
This was a 4th of July bouquet that I admired. I originally planned to paint the flag behind the flowers but decided that would be too busy. I love all the bright reds, oranges and blues. This is for a room that needs a little punch to it!
(c)Ann McCann, "Winter Sky," 5 X 7 oil, 2015
I painted this in a 30 day painting challenge last January. I went out with my camera on late afternoon in December and took a lot of photos at a local park. The sky was so beautiful that I couldn't resist a Van Gogh style!
A customer bought both of these. I am thrilled! They are from 2 different painting trips to France, the lavender and sunflowers in Provence (2015) and Monet's bridge in Giverny (2013). I am glad that others can enjoy my travel experiences.
Here is a trio of paintings from the dunes near Provincetown, MA. They capture the beautiful light that is found in Cape Cod. The light bounces off the water and sand and the air sparkles. That is why so many painters have gravitated there over the last century. With this trio you could be at the beach all year round!

The sail boats are racing on White Rock Lake in Dallas at sunset when the wind picks up. This was a plein air painting that I finished in my studio.
(c)Ann McCann 2016, Queen Anne's Lace, Oil on Linen Panel, 12 X 16
I was sitting in a grassy field above the harbor in Orleans, MA (Cape Cod) and saw this view. It's the view of the flowers and I liked it better than mine.
