Come to my opening reception this Friday night at 3500 Gaston Ave in the Baylor Hospital complex, Dallas. There are 22 new oil paintings of flowers and landscapes from across the US and other far flung places.
"Mom's Day Lilies" by Ann McCann 9 X 12 Oil
Mom always had a big bunch of day lilies in her garden. They grow effortlessly in Michigan, or else she made it look like that. I have had no luck here in Dallas. This painting will be at my show at the Baylor Health Sciences Library opening on March 15.

SOLD- "Purple Touch Poppies" by Ann McCann
An attendee at my retirement/art party last Saturday at The Garden Cafe in Dallas bought this painting. We all seem to have a love affair with red poppies. If you ever get a chance to sit in a field of them, take it! I had my opportunity while visiting my daughter in Jerusalem.

Red Poppies with Purple by Ann McCann 9 X 12" Oil
I did a workshop with Patrick Saunders in San Antonio last weekend for painting flowers. Here are the red poppies I did. Everyone loves red poppies. The purple in the center really pops. It would be fun to paint giant red poppies.
"Low Country River" by Ann McCann 16 X 20 Oil
I saw this scene at the Middleton plantation outside of Charleston on the Ashley River. Before the Civil War, this was used as a rice field which was backbreaking and dangerous work. I was attracted to the cloud reflections in the water and the tiny strip of land with the distant trees.

"Pink & White Camellia" by Ann McCann 8 X 8"
I am continuing with my theme of Charleston camellias. This was a pink and white one that I shot. Note the perfect bud top left. I worked on that quite a bit!
"Pink Camellia" by Ann McCann 9 X 12 Oil
When I was in Charleston over the Christmas holiday, the camellias were starting to bloom. I shot as many as I could. Here is lovely pink one that was at the air b&b where we stayed.
I have enjoyed looking at this rose in my office every day, but now I am ready to let someone else enjoy it. I will have it for sale at my show in the Baylor Health Sciences Library in March. More will be coming soon about this art show
"White Rose" by Ann McCann 6 X 6" Oil
"Colorful Cones" by Ann McCann 20 X 20 Oil
I don’t think I have ever posted this painting. It’s one that I did over a long period of time. I kept heightening the color. These hardy prairie flowers flourish in my garden all summer and come back every year. They make me happy when I look at them. Enjoy.
"Portrait of Rona" by Ann McCann 8 x 10 Oil
Rona saw the colorful self portrait that I painted and wanted one for herself. So, here she is the portrait I painted for her. She asked me to exaggerate her mouth and emphasize the green in her eyes. Enjoy Rona!
"Low Country Reflections" by Ann McCann 16 X 20 Oil
I took the photo of this scene on top of a bridge with 6 inches between me and the trucks! And they were roaring by and beeping at me. But I wanted this view of the low country on plantation row outside of Charleston. I loved painting the reflections of the marsh reeds on the water so much that I want to do a close-up next. I also saw a triptych of a similar scene that I would like to try too.
