Right after the sun slips under the horizon, there are a few moments when the sky is filled with color and the moon appears. This is the moment I captured over the ocean in Old Saybrook, CT.
"Goldenrod on Trees" by Ann McCann 9 X 12" Oil
I have this beautiful field of goldenrod outside my window right now and can’t resist painting it. I don’t think I have ever seen anyone painting it so I may be unique!
"Farm Sunset" by Ann McCann 12 X 12" Oil
There is a place in Storrs, CT called Horsebarn Hill where people gather for the sunset. Here is what I saw the evening I went there with 100 some UConn students.
"Sun on the Pines" by Ann McCann 9 X 12" Oil
I have spent many hours gazing at these pine trees as the early morning sun shines through them. The light sparkles and bounces all around the trunks and the grass.

"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.
