I am getting ready to go to the Cape! Here is a painting of the marsh in Wellfleet that I painted outdoors last year. When you paint outdoors, you go fast and loose. There are many daylilies in June there. Here are yellow and orange ones.
"Texas Gold" by Ann McCann 12 X 16" Watercolor
Still getting the Texas wildflowers out of my system. With this one, I let the water really flow within the Indian Blanket flowers and added lots of gold paint. The painting really sparkles!

"Laura's Wildflowers" (above) & "Warren Ferris Memorial Wildflower Garden" (below) 9 x12 " Oil Paintings
"Ennis Exhibition" by Ann McCann 12 x 16" Watercolor
I am always trying to create the perfect bluebonnet painting. Believe it or not, they are hard to paint as the color blue recedes. Nature knows the answer, add orange Indian paintbrush! Notice the vultures circling overhead.
"Texas Two" by Ann McCann 12 X 16" Watercolor
I’ve been focusing on watercolors lately. I am working on getting loose edges, and I love how the Indian blankets flow here. Though these wildflowers are long gone now, they are still fresh in my mind.
SOLD "Wildflower Heat" by Ann McCann 9 X 12" Plein Air Oil
I am so glad that someone else loved this scene as much as I did. It was such a great day painting in the wildflower fields of Connemara Nature Preserve in Allen, TX.
"Chandor Garden Bridge" by Ann McCann 18 X 24" Oil
This is a once private garden in Weatherford, TX that has been opened to the public. It has a Asian theme which is reflected in this bridge. Lovely place to visit.
"Laura's Wildflowers" by Ann McCann 9 X 12" Plein Air Oil
I sat in the sun behind the George W Bush Presidential Library and painted these wildflowers. Believe it or not, there are 15 acres of wildflower fields in bloom right now there. Amazing place.
"Evening Walk on the Beach" by Ann McCann 10 X 10" Watercolor
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.
