Title
Walden Ponds on an April Evening
Artist
Anne Gifford
Medium
Painting - Watercolor
Description
One evening as I was driving by Walden Ponds, east of Boulder, Colorado where I live, I was compelled by the overcast lighting to stop and take a walk. I stood for a long time watching a goose on the pond, and was taken by the subtle colors of the moment and the flatiron mountains that could be seen in the distance. I put black salt in the wet paint to create the rocks along the shoreline, which I used to pull the viewer into the picture.

Anne, you really created the exact mood with your great reflections, sky and homage to the light of nature at its best. Always a pleasure visiting your gallery here on FAA. F/L.
Anne Gifford replied:
You are the master of creating moods with your paintings, Randy, so this is an extra special compliment! Thank you.

I am from Massachusetts, and took a double-take at the Walden Pond mention, since the scenery is unlike the original Walden Pond. I like your loose watercolor style.
Anne Gifford replied:
Thanks, Betsy! We have a Walden Pond of much less repute here in Colorado....but still a great source for painting inspiration!

Is this the Walden Ponds that is a classic poem? I do like the one lonely little duck out there. Be sure to take some crackers the next time you go. ! Lovely in every way ,Anne. FAV
Anne Gifford replied:
Oh, Thank you Reynold! This Walden Pond is out here in Colorado where I live so no, I'm afraid it is not of the classic variety.
