This is another one of my 3 paintings that was juried into the 2016 Spring Show at the Dutch Art Gallery in Dallas, starting on May 14, 2016. I am in a "Van Gogh" state of mind this spring with painting irises!

Ann McCann's Paintings at the Dallas Lakewood Library Art Show, May 3- May 31, 2016
There are over 60 paintings in this show. I have two paintings in the exhibit, and one is brand new. Both are scenes from my neighborhood in Old East Dallas. Come out and vote for me for the Peoples' Choice Award!
SOLD- Bougainvillea by Ann McCann 20 X 20 Oil
This was one of the larger paintings at my show. It was popular. I could have sold it more than once! Although this scene is from Sanibel Island in Florida, it reminded my friend of spending time in Mexico. Good memories I assume......
SOLD- Cape Cod Marsh Road by Ann McCann 8 X 8 Oil
A long time friend of mine saw this at my show, and said he had to have it. I was very flattered, since he usually likes much tighter paintings. I am glad that it is going to a good home.
Irises in the Hood by Ann McCann (c)2016
Irises in the Hood by Ann McCann 20 X 20 Oil
This is a house in my neighborhood from the early 1900s. My focus in this painting was the beautiful purple irises, but I also captured a glimpse of the house at the top of the hill. This is a great neighborhood, the Belmont Addition in Dallas.
Bluebonnet Hill by Ann McCann (c) 2016
Bluebonnet Hill by Ann McCann 9 X 12 Oil
Here is my first painting from the trip to the Texas Hill country. For those of you have gone on the Willow City Loop in the past month, you will recognize this spot! It is gorgeous and one of the few places that is not fenced. Disney could not have done a better job here! I will be painting more from this location.
Texas Sunshine by Ann McCann 9 X 12 Oil
I painted this on a cloudy day, and the sunflowers really added some sunshine.

Blue Bonnet Trail by Ann McCann 9 X 12 Oil
I am just back from a painting trip in the Texas hill country. I can't tell you how gorgeous it was, not only the bluebonnets, but orange paintbrush, red poppies, etc. The Willow City Loop was amazing. I have so many photos and so little time to paint those scenes. I have some plein air paint sketches to complete and will post them when finished.
I painted this last year and it is for sale here.

Iris are blooming everywhere right now. So, while they last, I am painting them as fast as I can. Here is my latest effort. This is a gallery wrap canvas that is painted on the sides.

"Pear Cotton Candy" by Ann McCann (c)2016
Pear Cotton Candy by Ann McCann 18 X 24 Oil
Bradford Pear trees are the earliest sign of Spring in Dallas. These are my favorite, and I try to paint them every year. I like how I achieved the opaque blossoms against the transparent shadows. This is my favorite so far!

On the Snow Trail by Ann McCann 20 X 20 Oil
It occasionally snows in Dallas. Even with a big snowfall, it soon melts. However, it is beautiful while it lasts. I love the deep blues and purples in this painting, contrasting with the bright whites and blues of the snow. This is a path that I would follow into the woods. How about you?
SOLD- Orange Glow by Ann McCann 6 X 6 Oil
These orange hibiscus flowers were fresh from my hairdresser's garden. I love the tranparent flower colors again the opaque background.
I sold this painting at my solo exhibit "The Color of Memories" at the Baylor Health Sciences Library in Dallas. The show will be up until April 22, 2016.
