I’m beginning to plan how I will paint these Israel scenes in my sketch book.
Wild Green Parrots in Jerusalem
We saw and heard these loud parrots while drinking at the Agur Winery. These are not escaped pets but wild animals.
Agur Winery Building Among the Flowering Almond Trees
This lovely old building is the view from the winery in Agur, Israel, in the Judean hills outside of Jerusalem. The white/pink almond trees are flowering everywhere.
It is featured on the wine bottle we drank!
Jerusalem Wildflowers: Poppies & Cyclamen
Touring the parks in the Judean Hills outside Jerusalem for wildflowers today. Saw some red poppies and many pink cyclamen.
"Boomerang Boathouse" by Ann McCann 16 X 20" Oil
This is a 1920s art deco boathouse situated on White Rock Lake in Dallas. It is still in use. Here it glows in the afternoon sun.
"Lily of the Valley" by Ann McCann 9 X 12" Watercolor
I painted this in a workshop by #PamelaHarnoisart.
"Connemara Flower Meadow" by Ann McCann 9 X 12" Watercolor
This is a beautiful nature preserve north of Dallas with very colorful wildflower meadows in the spring.

"Valentine Cyclamen" by Ann McCann 12 X 12" Watercolor
This flower is perfect for Valentine’s Day. Each opening bud is shaped like a little heart. All the reds make you feel happy!
"View from the Pump House" by Ann McCann 20 X 20" Oil
I was excited to paint with oil and a knife. It has been a while. There is something so pure and appealing about the look of White Rock Lake in the winter, all blue and gold. This is a view from the front lawn of the old Pump House on the lake.
" Snow Forest" by Ann McCann 8 X 8" Watercolor
This new painting is very timely. Our Dallas winter is usually ending by now, but we are in another winter weather advisory with sleet and snow in the forecast. Break out the wool hats and gloves again!
"Bluebonnet Hill" by Ann McCann 12 X 12" Oil
This is a hillside in Ennis that I painted last year. I will be there again in April when the bluebonnets bloom!
"Hibiscus Bouquet" by Ann McCann 9 X 12" Watercolor
Here is a loose interpretation I have painted of a bouquet of red/orange hibiscus flowers. It was fun to paint! Painting loose is harder than you think.
"Thinking of Spring" by Ann McCann 9 X 12" Watercolor
We’re having some warm days in winter here and that makes me long for spring flowers. So, I have created some in watercolor here.
