The poppies were blooming on Bible Hill high above the old city of Jerusalem. My daughter was married at the castle in 2019. I see a painting here!
Jerusalem Sketches by Ann McCann
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.

"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.
