The blue and white vase really makes this still life of wild roses.
"On the Loose Roses" by Ann McCann 9 X 12" Watercolor
I took an online watercolor course yesterday by Pamela Harnois and painted this trio of roses. It is such a different way to paint, so loosely and yet still capture the essence of the flowers.
Flower Watercolor Sketches by Ann McCann
I am applying for several shows right now and have only had time to do some quicker paintings. Here is an example of my watercolor work, a daylily and a poppy.
"White Satin" by Ann McCann 12 X 12" Oil
A local store sells giant white hydrangeas with a secret recipe for making them last as long as two weeks. Mine are still going strong now at one week. So, I have been painting them. Here is my first version.
"Fancy Poppies" by Ann McCann 12 X 24" Oil
I picked the frilliest poppies I could find for this painting. They make a bright red statement. So does the long, lean canvas. Below I have two closeups of the painting. If you like color, this painting is for you!
Sarah's Bungalow Notecards by Ann McCann
I did a plein air painting of my neighbor’s house, and then created personalized notecards for her. I love these old houses in my East Dallas neighborhood.
"High on Marfa" by Ann McCann 10 X 20" Oil
After being on the high Texas desert in Marfa, I wanted to capture the size of the landscape. It is big! This long canvas conveys the length and depth of the scene. And, the big Texas sky.

"Flowers on the Fence" by Ann McCann 12 X 12" Oil
This scene is the town square in Orleans, MA, Cape Cod. They have wonderful flowers every summer. I painted this for a show that was entitled “All We Need is Love,” and I love Cape Cod!
"Snow Reflections" by Ann McCann 12 X 16" Watercolor
I painted this after viewing a Cembranelli video. It is cool here in Dallas, but we do not have any snow!
