I paint these Bradford Pear trees every year. They are this perfect ivory color for only about a week, and then the green leaves appear. These are really old ones, with unique shapes. The flowers drift to the grass and onto the creek.

"The Idea of Trees" by Ann McCann 11 x 14 Watercolor
This is the result of a fun course with Pamela Harnois. We painted trees!
"Palestine Sunbird" by Ann McCann Watercolor
Imagine looking out your window and seeing this bird! That is what happened to my daughter in Jerusalem. See her photo below.
"Sunset Bay Birds" Work in Progress by Ann McCann 16 X 20" Oil
This is a work in progress. I spent several hours sketching at White Rock Lake where the birds hang out, Sunset Bay. The pelicans were out to lunch somewhere, but the ducks were looking for handouts (which are forbidden). You can see birds perched on wood outcroppings far out into the lake.
"Fuchsia" by Ann McCann 10 X 10" Watercolor
I love these flowers that I can’t grow here in Texas. Too hot and dry. It is going to be 95 today, breaking a new heat record!
"Hill Country Oaks" by Ann McCann 16 X 20" Oil
These live oak trees were on property at the resort we stayed at in Fredericksburg, TX. I think I liked the shadows as much as the mighty trees.
"Gummelt House Portrait" by Ann McCann 11 X 14" Watercolor
Our longtime neighbors are moving out of this wonderful old house from the early 1900s. I was asked to paint a portrait of it as a gift for them. I really hope it doesn’t get knocked down!
"Bleeding Hearts" by Ann McCann 12 X 12" Watercolor
These lovely flowers are perfect for Valentine’s Day. Enjoy the day!

"Butterfly & Buttons" by Ann McCann 11 X 14" Oil
The Monarch is the state butterfly of Texas, and clouds of them migrate thru Dallas every fall. Here a butterfly perches on blue bachelor buttons,

"Fields of Gold" by Ann McCann 16 X 20" Oil
These are the wildflower fields of Connemara Preserve in Plano, Texas where I painted last Memorial Day. The ladies seated in the back are also painting. The fields were filled with yellow coneflowers, violet/white basket flowers and others. It was so lovely it was dreamlike.
Anemones & Almonds by Ann McCann 18 X 24" Oil
We went on a wildflower tour of Israel last spring and visited this almond orchard in bloom. Also, the fields were full of red anemones. They look very much like poppies but have a white center. Gorgeous day!
"Red Hot Amaryllis" by Ann McCann 12 x 16" Watercolor
Watercolors do not need to be pastel and delicate. I chose to get these flowers as red as possible. They look like they would be hot to the touch!

"Amaryllis Gemini" by Ann McCann 9 X 12" Watercolor
I tried to get looser/ more imaginative with my interpretation of amaryllis blossoms. I used some highly pigmented watercolor pencils I bought myself for Christmas for the line work. This is my creation.
