This exhibit will be at the downtown Dallas Public Library in September. I’m thrilled to be in the exhibit.
"Egret Marsh" by Ann McCann 6 X 10" Watercolor
I love this marsh in Wellfleet, MA, all the beautiful blues and greens. There are always herons and egrets flying around.
"Daylily Cottage" by Ann McCann Watercolor Sketch
This little green cottage in Wellfleet was pretty nondescript until all the daylilies bloomed. And then it popped!
The Daylilies Bloomed this Week! Watercolor Sketches by Ann McCann
The daylilies bloom all at once here on the Cape. They are gorgeous even though they only last one day. There so many!
"Beach Roses" by Ann McCann Watercolor Sketch
I love beach roses, rugosas. These are high on a dune above the beach at Corn Hill, Cape Cod.

"White Rock Boathouse" by Ann McCann Now at the Dutch House Gallery
“White Rock Boathouse” 16 X 20” Oil at the Dutch Art Gallery in Dallas https://dutchartgallery.net/
This art deco boathouse built in 1930 is now called the Boomerang Boathouse as it is shaped as one, with the point facing the lake. The boathouse is on T&P Hill and this is the back side seen across the water. It sparkles here in the sun with the rosy tan colors reflected in the water.
"Trail to the Wildflower Fields (Connemara)" by Ann McCann 9 X 12" Watercolor
I can’t get those golden fields of wildflowers out of my head. What a glorious day of painting that was. Featured here are yellow coneflowers and lilac basket flowers.

This is the view of White Rock Lake from the restored Filter House. The lake was once the single source of fresh water for Dallas, filtered in this old plant. You can see the white, 1930s Bath House Cultural Center across the lake.

Ann McCann's Watercolors at the Connemara Wildflower Fields
We painted in the wildflower fields of Connemara in Allen, TX on Saturday. What a gorgeous place. You can see some photos below. The prominent flowers in my paintings are the yellow coneflowers and the lavender basket flowers that look like giant thistle. They transported us to the fields on a hay wagon and fed us breakfast under ancient pecan trees.

It was a beautiful day at the White Rock Garden Tour. This was my first outdoor art selling event. I had oils, watercolors and watercolor cards. It was fun talking to everyone (1000+ attendees), but quite a task to set up and take down.
