"Meditation During the War" Watercolor Sketch by Ann McCann
I’m spending a lot of time in bomb shelters here in Israel or worrying about where they are. However, I’ve captured a quiet moment here in our local park. Love the cascading blue plumbago flowers.
"Starry Night in Jerusalem" Watercolor Sketch by Ann McCann
Walking down a lit alley at night, this scene reminded me of Van Gogh’s Starry Night painting. I’m thinking of doing a painting of this myself.

"Almond Blossom Time" by Ann McCann 12 X 16" Watercolor
Spring starts in Israel with the pink and white blossoms of the wild almond trees. They are scattered all over the hillsides and mountains. They are a welcome sight after a wet. cold winter! There are also almond orchards with symmetrical row upon row of pink, like an abstract Mondrian painting.
On the Easel "Iris Gold on the Pond" by Ann McCann 18 X 24" Oil
This pond is behind the Valley House Gallery in Dallas. I was there to view the current art exhibition, took a quick turn around the property and got excited about this scene. Doesn’t get any better!

Watercolor Sketches from a Painting Trip to Ennis, TX
I travelled with a group of sketchers to Ennis TX this week to paint the bluebonnets. One in the group owns a house on top of a hill in Ennis. The sun shone, but the wind was pretty ferocious. Nevertheless, we sketched for two hours. The below sketch of the new gate took over an hour due to the architecture of it. The one above I did in 5 minutes just before we left. I think I like it the best!
