"Canna Celebration" (plein air) by Ann McCann 9 X 12" Oil
I am not usually a Canna lover, but they were gorgeous at the Arboretum last week. The colors of the flowers-pinks, reds, yellows- and even the leaves (eggplant!) were breathtaking. A group of us found a shady place and painted there all day.
"Plein Air Petunias" by Ann McCann 8 X 8" Oil
I was plein air painting with the Outdoor Painters Society at the Dallas Arboretum when I saw this planter of pink petunias. It was the end of the afternoon, and it was 95 degrees! I was so tired. I painted it very quickly and like the results.
"Gold Peony Bottle" by Ann McCann 8 X 16" Oil on Gold Paper
This pink peony stands in a lovely water bottle. The gold of the paper peeks out throughout the painting, especially the deckle edge. It can be framed just like a watercolor.
"Yellow Rose of Texas" by Ann McCann 9 X 12" Watercolor
I love painting roses in watercolor. Everyone is different if you let the water do what it wants.
"Like Coming Home" by Ann McCann 12 X 12"Oil
This is my neighbor’s front yard, and it is so welcoming. She is wonderful gardener. She does the work, and we can all enjoy it!

"Monarch Visit" by Ann McCann 9 X 12" Oil
A Monarch butterfly is regularly visiting my garden these days, so I decided to paint her. She seems to love my pink coneflowers. I get it!
SOLD "Coneflower Angels" by Ann McCann 9 X 12" Oil

"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" by Ann McCann 9 X 12" Oil
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.
Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.
