Settler's Park in Boulder, Colorado where I live is a rock outcropping that provided shelter to the pioneers as they traveled west in their wagon trains. Here, I have created one of my watercolor "overlay" paintings.

I scan all of the paintings into my computer, place the elements, and adjust the transparency which results in a "ghost-like" effect. I truly enjoy creating this series of intuitive, historical pieces.
Anne Gifford is an award winning artist and the eight time poster artist for Colorado's Bolder Boulder 10K Memorial Day Race, one of the largest road races in the United States. She began her career as a silkscreen artist. After 25 years of printmaking, Anne now works with watercolor, building successive layers of color to create her vibrant, rich, and detailed paintings. She has lived in Colorado since 1976 and finds inspiration in the natural beauty of the Rocky Mountains. Her paintings, like a pictorial journal, have chronicled her journey thus far.
