"Ann's Lace" by Ann McCann 8 X 10" Oil
My three week vacation in New England is over, and so is the cool weather we enjoyed there. Now we are back to the blazing heat in Dallas. The field next to our house in Connecticut is filled with wild flowers, Queen Anne’s Lace being one of them. I decided to heighten the intensity of the colors!

"Roses After Rain" by Ann McCann 9 X 12" Oil
I haven’t posted much as I have been on vacation at our house in Connecticut and in a rental at Cape Cod. I haven’t missed being in Dallas as it is over 100 degrees every day! Here it is in the 60s at night and 70s or 80s during the day. The scene above was right after a light rain on the Cape in the backyard of our rental house. It had a gorgeous garden, lilacs, lilies, roses and more.
