Description
As I look outside my window to watch the wind howling on a gray winter day, I take comfort in remembering a peaceful scene I encountered on a perfect summer evening while riding my bicycle on one of the many bike trails where I live in Colorado. I was taken with the way the mountains, trees, field and the ancient building were aglow in the fading daylight. Each season has it's rewards.....winter has it's beauty, too, but in the midst of the cold it's soothing to know that warmer days will come again.

What a wonderful place this is Anne. I would love to walk in that field and explore that building. The sunlight hits the trees and field beautifully.

I believe this is the old Shamrock school house where my Grandfather, Guy Hill, attended school in the late 1880's. His teacher was Mrs. Viele which was unusual since married women weren't allowed to teach back then. Grandpa dearly loved her and carried her picture with him as he moved to different states, returning to Colorado in 1934. When he returned, he went to the home of Charles Dehn, a fellow student at this school. It's amazing that it's still standing. Love this Annie, but then, I love everything that you do!
Anne Gifford replied:
Donlyn, your wonderful history accounts are like no other and being a history buff myself, I loved reading this. You know the intricate details of the lives of so many of your ancestors, and it is a delight to learn about them. Thank you.

This painting takes me right there where I'd love to be. Your greens and lighting are magical in this country scene Anne. Congratulations on your features. Well deserved. F/L.
Anne Gifford replied:
Thank you Randy. This is early June in Colorado, when things are at their greenest.

Very beautiful work Anne! I'm longing for some green at the moment, it's been a couple of months since we had any rain. L/F
Anne Gifford replied:
We sure need the rain, always. This was painted in the early spring when it is green in Colorado, before things turn to brown.
