Here is a second flower painting on gold gesso. The gold shines randomly throughout the painting, especially around the flowers. The various colors of the roses remind me of confetti. This is a very happy painting.
"French Chair Roses" by Ann McCann 9 X 12" Oil
This painting is all about flowers, the roses in the vase, the flowers on the French chair and the suggestion of a rose bush in the background. It feels soft and invites you in.
"Gilded Iris" by Ann McCann 10 X 10" Oil
I painted this iris still life on top of a gold gesso layer. The gold shines randomly throughout the painting, especially among the iris. Petals fall from the bouquet and drift down on the table. This for all you iris lovers!

“Sunset Over the Lake” by Ann McCann 9 X 12” Oil
SOLD "Peony & Lavender" by Ann McCann 9 X 12" Oil
Kind of hated to see this one go. I enjoyed looking at it and imagining a happier time. I would be glad to paint something similar for someone’s Christmas gift!
"Marsh Clouds" by Ann McCann 12 X 12" Oil
We were driving around Nauset Beach, Cape Cod in September and spied this golden marsh. The ocean was just beyond the marsh in the distance. The clouds were stunning and I couldn’t wait to paint them.
"Dancing Cones" by Ann McCann from the OPS Corsicana Show now back in Dallas
The Outdoor Painters Society Show in Corsicana was beautifully hung but poorly attended due to Covid concerns (understandably). Here I am masked for the outgoing reception. They did use my painting for advertising the show so I was pleased with that. This painting and one other are now back at home and available for purchase.
"Tulip Parfait" by Ann McCann 8 X 10" Oil
These pastel tulips stand out against a gold gilt background. This is accomplished with a gold gesso underpainting. This painting truly glows.
"Ball Jar Peony" by Ann McCann X 10" Oil
I have always loved these old ball jars in their lovely shades of teal. I have a small collection of family owned jars that my Mom helped me acquire. They make great vases, and are very nostalgic for me.
"Peony & Lavender" by Ann McCann 9 X 12" Oil
There is nothing so lovely as a pink peony. Combined with purple lavender, this scene assaults the senses of both sight and smell.
"Best Garden Ever" by Ann McCann 9 X 12" Oil
My neighbors on the corner have the best garden all year round. This is their lovely fall garden. They also cultivate bees and butterflies. I enjoy it everyday on my daily walks around the neighborhood.
SOLD "Provence Poppies" by Ann McCann 9 X 12" Oil
Who doesn’t love poppies! These were fun to paint in vibrant reds, pinks and purples. The shapes of the poppies opening up and blooming are actually pretty abstract.
SOLD "Ivory Dream" by Ann McCann 9 X 12" Watercolor
In the early part of the pandemic I focused on watercolors. A client in Canada just purchased this last week. It’s great to have international customers! I have a lot more watercolors that are available here at my website.
"Sunset Over the Lake" by Ann McCann Chosen for the Dutch Art Gallery 2020 Fall Show
I saw this sunset while having dinner overlooking Coventry Lake in Connecticut. When I started painting it, I thought the sunset would be the centerpiece. Now finished, I think it is the water. The Dutch Art Gallery Show “The Magic Hour” will open online November 14, 2020. You can visit the gallery, but there will not be a reception due to Covid.
