In August , we went to Princess St Park in Edinburgh to paint flowers as their gardens are wonderful. However, when we got there and looked up, this castle filled the sky. It is enormous and sits on a mountain of stone. So, we had to paint it, all three of us.
Hydrangea Stairway (Princess St Park, Edinburgh) by Ann McCann 9 X 12" Oil
This is a lovely city park in Edinburgh. The hydrangeas were blooming profusely along these elegant stairs in August. You know me, I can’t resist the flowers.
"Skye Harbor Garden" (Isle of Skye, Scotland) by Ann McCann 9 X 12" Oil
This was a very grey day at the Isle of Skye harbor in Scotland. Ever notice that when the day is very cloudy, the greens just pop. Well, that was happening here when we were plein air painting a flower garden on the harbor. The red flowers were practically screaming too. Gorgeous place.
"Isle of Skye Inn" The Ben Tianavaig Inn in Portree, Isle of Skye, Scotland. 9 X 12" Oil on archival panel.
This is the first of four canvases from my painting trip to Scotland that I have finished. In a town of gray and black stone, this coral building really stood out. I fell in love with the flower baskets.
"Sunshine on a Rainy Day" by Ann McCann 9 X 12" Oil

I am continuing to paint plein air in my neighborhood. On my block is a lovely wildflower garden filled with butterflies. I did this small painting there sitting in the hot sun for several hours. I am working on a larger version in my much cooler studio.
