We went on a wildflower tour of Israel last spring and visited this almond orchard in bloom. Also, the fields were full of red anemones. They look very much like poppies but have a white center. Gorgeous day!
"Red Hot Amaryllis" by Ann McCann 12 x 16" Watercolor
Watercolors do not need to be pastel and delicate. I chose to get these flowers as red as possible. They look like they would be hot to the touch!

"Amaryllis Gemini" by Ann McCann 9 X 12" Watercolor
I tried to get looser/ more imaginative with my interpretation of amaryllis blossoms. I used some highly pigmented watercolor pencils I bought myself for Christmas for the line work. This is my creation.
Another Amaryllis Painting by Ann McCann 12 X 16" Oil
I decided to do a larger amaryllis painting. It is not done yet. I am stuck at home in a Dallas cold/snow storm called Dallaska 24. It is 12 degrees outside with snow!

Who doesn’t love red!!
"Lady Goldfinch in Waiting" by Ann McCann 12 x 24" Oil
I worked on this painting some more, adding darker values. Now the male finch really stands out. The small touches of gold in the underpainting also pop! The story here is this pair of finches came to our feeder this summer every day while we were on vacation. He was always eating and she was always waiting!

"Gilded Ball Jar" by Ann McCann 6 X 8" Framed Oil
This colorful glass jar from our mother’s and grandmother’s eras is very nostalgic. Those ladies used to can the fruits and vegetables they grew to eat over the winter. The gold underpainting highlights the flowers and stems and appears as calligraphy on the jar. This piece is framed and ready to go.
