The night sky is not just black. We took a walk at 3:00 am to the Wellfleet Harbor (couldn’t sleep!) and were amazed at all the light and color in the sky.
"Wildflower Heat" by Ann McCann 9 x 12" Oil
We plein air painted at Connemara Nature Preserve in Plano, Tx on Saturday. The sky was gray, but the wildflowers glowed, bee balm, coneflowers, basket flowers and firewheels. They transported us in jeep-like trucks and fed us muffins and coffee. A fun event!
"Iris & Clouds" by Ann McCann 16 x 20" Oil
My iris were so beautiful this year. I put my iris sidewalk into an imaginary park under an airy cloud sky.

My Iris 2024 by Ann McCann 12 X 12" Oil
My iris were so gorgeous this year. I wait all year for the 10 days of the iris show. I had many yellows this year thanks to my hairdresser John!
"Wildflower Memorial Garden" by Ann McCann 9 X 12" Oil
Warren Angus Ferris Cemetery in Dallas is ancient with no headstones remaining. It has been turned into a wildflower garden, and I painted there plein air last week. It was beautiful even though the chiggers got me good!
"Goldfinch in Flight" by Ann McCann 6 X 9" Watercolor
Goldfinches represent summer and vacations in Cape Cod to me. This bird is viewed from underneath with the one, blurred wing in motion. The special effects in the background were created with salt crystals.
"On the Easel Poppies" by Ann McCann 12 X 12" Oil
These flowers are blooming in my neighborhood. And they really have a stone fence.
"Butterflies & Poppies" Watercolors by Ann McCann
There are so many butterflies right now. I have to paint them with my flowers.
“Texas Red & Blue” 5 X 7” Oil
Bluebonnets & Paintbrush Paintings by Ann McCann
It’s that time of year again, and I can’t get enough of the Texas wildflowers. They are gorgeous this year. When these two are together in the Texas fields, they are like firecrackers!
“Texas Spring Trio” 5 X 7” Oil
Here is a three flower version.
“In the Breeze” 9 X 12” Watercolor
Here is the watercolor version. You can almost see the wind blowing, which it always is!
"Feels Like Bluebonnets by Ann McCann 5.5 X 7.5" Watercolor
I visited the bluebonnet fields twice last week and was inspired to paint them abstractly. I want the painting to “feel” like bluebonnets. Two birds of prey glide above the field.
"Garden Remnant" by Ann McCann Watercolor
It lay broken on the ground, but I couldn't throw it away. I popped it in a glass of water and painted it.
"Texas Spring" by Ann McCann 10 X 11" Watercolor
We are doing taxes instead of visiting the bluebonnet fields this weekend. So, I am visiting them in my imagination.
"Some Days You Just Need a Rose" by Ann McCann 9 X 12" Watercolor
I needed a rose today so I painted one! I will have ones in my Dallas yard soon too.
"Turtle Creek Pears" by Ann McCann 18 X 24"
I paint these Bradford Pear trees every year. They are this perfect ivory color for only about a week, and then the green leaves appear. These are really old ones, with unique shapes. The flowers drift to the grass and onto the creek.
