“Sunset Over the Lake” by Ann McCann 9 X 12” Oil
Kind of hated to see this one go. I enjoyed looking at it and imagining a happier time. I would be glad to paint something similar for someone’s Christmas gift!
We were driving around Nauset Beach, Cape Cod in September and spied this golden marsh. The ocean was just beyond the marsh in the distance. The clouds were stunning and I couldn’t wait to paint them.
The Outdoor Painters Society Show in Corsicana was beautifully hung but poorly attended due to Covid concerns (understandably). Here I am masked for the outgoing reception. They did use my painting for advertising the show so I was pleased with that. This painting and one other are now back at home and available for purchase.
These pastel tulips stand out against a gold gilt background. This is accomplished with a gold gesso underpainting. This painting truly glows.
I have always loved these old ball jars in their lovely shades of teal. I have a small collection of family owned jars that my Mom helped me acquire. They make great vases, and are very nostalgic for me.
There is nothing so lovely as a pink peony. Combined with purple lavender, this scene assaults the senses of both sight and smell.
My neighbors on the corner have the best garden all year round. This is their lovely fall garden. They also cultivate bees and butterflies. I enjoy it everyday on my daily walks around the neighborhood.
Who doesn’t love poppies! These were fun to paint in vibrant reds, pinks and purples. The shapes of the poppies opening up and blooming are actually pretty abstract.
In the early part of the pandemic I focused on watercolors. A client in Canada just purchased this last week. It’s great to have international customers! I have a lot more watercolors that are available here at my website.
I saw this sunset while having dinner overlooking Coventry Lake in Connecticut. When I started painting it, I thought the sunset would be the centerpiece. Now finished, I think it is the water. The Dutch Art Gallery Show “The Magic Hour” will open online November 14, 2020. You can visit the gallery, but there will not be a reception due to Covid.
The blue shutters on a window in Provence are a great backdrop for these pink peonies. That lovely blue color is also reflected on the underside of the peony. This painting is currently available for purchase at the Dutch Art Gallery in Dallas.
My painting was chosen to feature the show!

We were lucky to catch the sunset as we ate at the restaurant overlooking the lake in Coventry, CT. It was cool, sweater weather, as we enjoyed our seafood dinner.
