My painting “Seville Oleanders & Palms” was selected for the Fall Show of the Dutch Art Gallery in Dallas. The theme is “around the world” which is great for me as many of my paintings are from European trips. This scene is a city park in Seville where the flowering oleanders are as big as trees. The opening is Saturday, November 3, 2018.

"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.

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

August 29, 2018

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!
