I did a watercolor sketch of this when I was in Israel and now I have captured it in oil. This is what the "holy land" looks like in the countryside. On top of the mountain on the right is a field of waist high blue lupines (cousin to blue bonnets) and in front of it a field of red poppies (which I also painted!).

The day after I featured these paintings on my blog, they sold. I was thrilled. Someone bought both and in the frames that you see here. I guess they like fancy and plain!
"Color Tour" by Ann McCann 20 X 20 Oil
I was playing with fall color here. This is my mother-in-laws backyard, bordering on a woods. The shadows of these trees are so striking and dominant at certain times a day.

I have a large painting (for me!) in this peer-reviewed show. Please come to the viewing and party this Saturday.
"Biblical Poppies" by Ann McCann 9 X 12 Oil
This is the field of red poppies that we visited in Israel. It was just before dusk, and the golden light was beautiful. I did a watercolor there and completed the oil painting in my studio. As I mentioned before, this overlooks Ellah Valley where David is said to have killed Goliath.
My Palette by Ann McCann
I thought I would take a photo of my palette. I have been using it for several paintings so there are lots of colors. There is an organization to this as I always set my colors out in a particular order- yellow, orange, red, purple, blue and greens. Working on my yellow roses now.

I was in the mood for a lot of color on Sunday when I painted this. I got a lot of positive feedback yesterday when I posted it, and I sold it. Now, it just has to dry!
"Diva Poppies" by Ann McCann 8 X 8 Oil
I decided to go for drama with these poppies, with a big contrast between light and dark. This is a small painting. it would be fun to paint a really large one. It would make quite a statement on white walls!

"Amethyst Iris" by Ann McCann 20 X 20" Oil
It's iris time again in Dallas. This is an iris patch in my neighborhood that I paint every spring. I went bigger this time, 20 X 20 inches. The iris sparkle in different colors in the sun- blue violet, red violet and various pinks. The leaves are bright green in the sun but go to blues in the shade.
