"Pretty in Pink & Purple" by Ann McCann 9 X 12" Oil

I felt a rush of delight while I was painting these pink coneflowers and purple salvia. The painting just flowed for me. I look forward to painting my cone flowers (Echinacea) for the next month!

Waterfall Stairs 72 7.jpg

"Waterfall Stairs" by Ann McCann 9 X 12" Oil

May 17, 2021

This type of stairway is characteristic of my 1920s neighborhood in East Dallas. A neighbor has planted a wildflower garden around her stairway, pink primroses and some type of yellow daisy.

My painting of wisteria (20 X 20” oil) was accepted into the spring show of the Dutch Art Gallery in Dallas. The challenge was to paint with only three colors and white, in this case magenta, transparent yellow and Caribbean blue. This show opens on June 5, 2021.

Primose Framed 72 7.jpg

"Primroses & Bachelor Buttons" Framed by Ann McCann 8 X 12" Watercolor

The Dutch Art Gallery in Dallas framed my Texas wildflower painting. The pink primroses and blue bachelor buttons sway in the wind and dance across the painting like butterflies.

Larkspur Framed 72 10.jpg

"Larkspur" Framed by Ann McCann 7 X 11.5" Watercolor

May 03, 2021

The Dutch Art Gallery in Dallas framed my watercolor. The watercolor paper has a deckle edge (made by me!) and is mounted on a blue/gray mat. This gives the flowers some room to breath. They did such a nice job on this.

When you find all three Texas wildflowers together- bluebonnets, paintbrush and primrose- it is a wondrous site!

The Dutch Art Gallery in Dallas featured my watercolor painting on Instagram and a local newspaper as an ideal Mother’s Day gift. I love how they framed it.

My huge purple iris are blooming again. I won’t be calling them “corona iris” anymore since I am vaccinated and moving on from the pandemic.

Red Bud Spring 72 7.jpg

"Red Bud Spring" by Ann McCann 20 X 20" Oil

April 05, 2021

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 72 7.jpg

"Larkspur" by Ann McCann 7.5 X 11" Watercolor

April 01, 2021

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!”
