"Crepe Myrtle Sky" by Ann McCann Won Third Place in Art Competition
My crepe myrtle painting (20 X 20 oil) won THIRD PLACE for painting in the 2018 Discovery Gardens Art Competition. It is on display there now on the State Fair grounds and through October 22.
"High Tide" by Ann McCann 18 X 24 Oil
This was the beach we visited daily near our cottage in Wellfleet, MA. This is what it looked like at high tide and sunset. I found out that low tide is beautiful too and that painting will be next.
"Summer Cottages" by Ann McCann 12 X 16 Oil
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.

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.
