The redbud trees are blooming in Dallas. I love the varied shades of purple and pink. I have added some metallic gold touches on the trunk to give it some spark where the sun hits it. This would definitely light up a room.
"Larkspur" by Ann McCann 7.5 X 11" Watercolor
This was a painting I did in Janet Roger’s watercolor workshop last month. I was going for hard and soft edges that create depth in the painting. Janet told me to stop and “sign it!”

"Valentine's Day Bouquet" by Ann McCann 9 X 12" Watercolor
My husband went all out for Valentine’s Day and presented me with this bouquet of hydrangeas, lilies, roses and irises. What a feast for a flower painter! It gave me hope during the horrible Texas winter storm last month.
"Castle View" by Ann McCann 11 X 13" Watercolor
This is another watercolor I completed in Janet Roger’s Zoom workshop last week.
"French Abbey" by Ann McCann 9 X 11" Watercolor
I visited the abbey Notre Dame Senanque in Provence several years ago. I did an oil painting of it that I subsequently sold. This week, I painted it again in watercolors in a workshop with instructor Janet Rogers. It brought back fond memories of a wonderful trip. Ah, the smell of lavender and the hum of the hungry bees.
"Iris Trio" by Ann McCann 6 X 8" Watercolor
At the beginning of the pandemic, I did a series of iris watercolors that I titled “Corona Irises,” a play on words. Here is a small one I did that is soft and suggestive, the way I like to paint. For the next three days I am taking a Zoom watercolor course with Janet Rogers who got me reinterested in the medium two years ago!
"Dark and Deep Red Quince" by Ann McCann 9 X 12" Oil

Quince is blooming here with its hot pink/orange flowers. I have been painting them in watercolor (see below) and decided to do one in oil. This is a special panel that has wood sides so is framed and ready to go. I have a photo of this wood frame below.
