A local store sells giant white hydrangeas with a secret recipe for making them last as long as two weeks. Mine are still going strong now at one week. So, I have been painting them. Here is my first version.
"Fancy Poppies" by Ann McCann 12 X 24" Oil
I picked the frilliest poppies I could find for this painting. They make a bright red statement. So does the long, lean canvas. Below I have two closeups of the painting. If you like color, this painting is for you!
Sarah's Bungalow Notecards by Ann McCann
I did a plein air painting of my neighbor’s house, and then created personalized notecards for her. I love these old houses in my East Dallas neighborhood.
"High on Marfa" by Ann McCann 10 X 20" Oil
After being on the high Texas desert in Marfa, I wanted to capture the size of the landscape. It is big! This long canvas conveys the length and depth of the scene. And, the big Texas sky.

This image makes my heart feel lighter on this cold winter day in the midst of the Covid surge.

This scene is the town square in Orleans, MA, Cape Cod. They have wonderful flowers every summer. I painted this for a show that was entitled “All We Need is Love,” and I love Cape Cod!
"Snow Reflections" by Ann McCann 12 X 16" Watercolor
I painted this after viewing a Cembranelli video. It is cool here in Dallas, but we do not have any snow!
