Can you smell the lavender and hear the bees? There is nothing like that fragrance on the air. It makes you want to visit the local shops and buy everything scented with it. We visited this field when we were in Provence several years ago.

"Provence Poppies" by Ann McCann 9 X 12" Oil
I was going for color here, and I think I achieved it, glowing red and lavender poppies with turquoise flower buds!
"Tuscan Stone Cottage" by Ann McCann 12 X 12" Oil
This was fun, painting the stone walls and tile roof. The flowers really enhance the ancient walls. This is another painting from Dreama’s Timeless Tuscany course.
"Gladness" by Ann McCann 9 X 12" Oil
Looking at these gladioli make me happy so I named this painted “Gladness.” These flowers glow as they have an underpainting of rose and magenta. You can see that layer showing around the petal edges and in the flower centers. I have an old french door like the one featured here in my 1922 home in Old East Dallas.

"Sunflower Salute" by Ann McCann 12 X 16" Oil
I created this painting in Dreama’s online course Timeless Tuscany, and Tuscany is about sunflowers, fields and fields of them. I pretend to be in Italy (instead of hiding in my studio) and channel Van Gogh! This one is larger than most of my summer paintings. it may end up on my studio wall.
Ann McCann's Paintings are at the Outdoor Painters Society Show in Corsicana

"Gelato Trio" by Ann McCann 6 X 6" Oils
I am now taking another Dreama Perry course about Tuscany. Here are the first three paintings I did of gloriously colored gelato in various containers. What fun!
"Rose Vine Door" by Ann McCann 9 X 12" Oil
Here is a door to an old stone winery in Provence that I painted in the Once Upon a Time in Provence” course. Someday we will be able to travel there again. For now, pretend you are there!
"Rose Table" by Ann McCann 12 X 12" Oil
Here is the final painting I made in the Once Upon a Time in Provence course. I loved painting all the glass!
"Happy Sun Faces" by Ann McCann 9 X 12" Oil
This is a plein air painting I did last week while standing in a field of sunflowers in Ennis, Texas. What a treat! They really do look happy, standing upright and soaking up the sun. Did you know they turn towards the sun throughout the day? You have to catch them at the right time or you will be facing their backs.
Ann McCann's Provence Journey Continues in the French Market 10 X 10" Oil
I am close to the end of my participation in Dreama Perry’s course Once Upon a Time in Provence. This painting features a French market with turquoise trimmed buildings, bright umbrellas and flowers everywhere. I wish I was there.
