Chimesa Shadows 72 7.jpg

SOLD "Chamisa Shadows" by Ann McCann 9 X 12 Oil

April 15, 2019

This was a scene from a city park in Santa Fe where we spent the December holidays in 2017. I was fascinated by the mounds of dried chamisa everywhere. The yellow of the chamisa and the purple shadows create a lot of visual vibration.

Bookclub Tulips 72 7.jpg

"Book Club Tulips" by Ann McCann 11 X 14" Oil

April 07, 2019

A vase of yellow tulips was featured at my book club meeting last week, so I decided to paint them. I added some hyacinths from home. It was one of those paintings that happened easily and was a joy to produce.

Cherries Are Back 72 7.jpg

"Cherries Are Back!" by Ann McCann 9 X 12 Oil

April 03, 2019

We visited the Dallas Arboretum two weeks ago and the cherry trees were in bloom. They only bloom well for about a week so it was a real treat to see them. The place was packed with visitors. With this painting, you could enjoy them all year on your wall.

I am working on ideas for paintings that are “outside the box” for an art exhibit.  Here I used the image of my opening flowers (Monday’s blog) but mixed it up with drips and other strokes.  Here is the result.

Opening Bouquet 72 7.jpg

"Opening Flowers" by Ann McCann 11 X 14" Oil

March 20, 2019

I arranged these beautiful roses and irises for my art opening last night. Attendees encouraged me to paint them so I did. I painted then fast and loose. I think they capture the feeling of the event and the lovely time I spent with everyone that came.

Garrison House Final 72 7.jpg

"Garrison House" Portrait by Ann McCann 8 X 10" Watercolor

March 18, 2019

My former neighbor asked me to paint her old house that they built and where her kids grew up. This house is right next to me in East Dallas. So, I could run out and check out the details when the photos failed me. These portraits make nice gifts for yourself, family members. or new home owners.

Mom's Daylilies 72 7.jpg

"Mom's Day Lilies" by Ann McCann 9 X 12 Oil

March 11, 2019

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.
