I am creating new stock for the White Rock Lake Artist Tour October 12-13, 2024. Here are some old favorites as well as new designs.
"White Orchids" by Ann McCann 7.5 X 11" Watercolor
I’m playing with white on white here. It works because of the violet shadows.
"White Orchids" by Ann McCann Watercolor
Here we have white orchid flowers on a white background that works because of the violet shadows.
"Paris Lights" by Ann McCann Oil
Since Paris has been in our sights with the Olympics, I thought I would feature a nocturne painting I did of the Eiffel Tower and the Seine. I loved painting all the night lights!
Ann McCann's Art for the University of Detroit Dental Hygiene Class of 1979
I donated three watercolor paintings to the University of Detroit Dental Hygiene Class of 1979 for a reunion raffle. Here is one of them. The new owner on the right is Paula Pravlochak. Thanks to Marie Beauvais on the left for sending me this photo! These were my students back in the day.
SOLD "Cape Cod Hydrangea House" by Ann McCann 9 X 12" Oil
This is one of my favorite houses in Wellfleet, MA, and the painting of it sold while I was vacationing there. It was the height of hydrangea season too, and the beautiful blue blooms were everywhere!
"Secret Garden" by Ann McCann 9 X 12" Plein Air Oil
Here is the backyard garden in our rental house at Cape Cod. There are flowers, butterflies and birds everywhere. Lovely place to hang out every morning.

“Flower or Feeder?” The goldfinch cant decide which to eat!
“Lilies are Blooming!” I watch them every day for the openings.

Daylily Movement
Daylilies flourish by the roadside in New England. They are very cheery!
Driveway Daylilies
"Daylilies on the Marsh" by Ann McCann 8 X 10" Plein Air Oil
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.
