This was our beach this summer in Cape Cod. We saw it several times a day. This was at high tide. Those grey cottages look like summer to me.
"Goldenrod Farm" by Ann McCann 16 X 20 Gallery Wrap Oil
If you get hay fever beware! This goldenrod has taken over the Connecticut farmer’s field and doesn’t know its a weed. It sparkles in the sun.

"Taos Gorge" by Ann McCann 12 X 16 Oil
There are some paintings that are hard to finish and this is one of them. I have made some more changes to the river banks and shadows. This was originally painted plein air outside of Taos on the Rio Grand.

Ann McCann at Dutch Art Gallery Self-Portrait Show on September 6
On the left is the photo I shot from my computer camera. We had to remove all the extraneous things in the background which is why my hair looks squared off. On the right is the portrait I painted. I chose to add a lot of color to the painting and enlarge my eyes a bit. I was going to make them smaller but decided I liked them better big!

"Sherbet Hibiscus" by Ann McCann 9 X 12 Oil
I saw this apricot hibiscus duo in Cape Cod last year. They made me think of eating orange sherbet or a creamsicle. It was a hot day! This painting is for sale at the Dutch Art Gallery in Dallas.
"Hydrangea Interior" by Ann McCann 9 X 12 Oil
Here is the oil painting I did of the Cape Cod hydrangeas. The light is gorgeous there, probably because it is bouncing off the ocean. Here you see the light coming in the window and reflecting off the granite countertop and glass vase.
"Hydrangea Sketch" by Ann McCann Water Water Color & Ink
Continuing my Cad Cod theme, a bouquet of hydrangeas always awaits us when we rent a house in Wellfleet every summer. It is a wonderful "welcome." I just had to do a sketch of it.
"Hydrangea House" by Ann McCann 9 X 12 Oil
Cape Cod is one of my favorite places to be. This lovely house is down the street from where we have often stayed in Wellfleet. Besides being a lovely, mid-19th century house, it is surrounded by all these hydrangeas in various shades of blue. I wish I owned it!
