Artist's Description
This is a painting of the most magical moment of my stay as an artist-in-residence at Caribou Ranch near Nederland, Colorado. The mother moose and her calf were watching me paint, and I didn't even see them for I don't know how long! You can imagine my surprise and delight when I discovered them. So far, I've painted this scene twice as the moment made such an impression on me. Each artist that stays at the ranch is to donate a piece of their art to Boulder County, and this is the one that I chose to give. I am flattered that my moose painting will be enjoyed by many in a public location, but it was also bittersweet to see this one go today. Favorite paintings are like little windows into one's life.

Joan Willoughby
Love this painting. It also makes me nostalgic for our days of living in Colorado. I was doing a workshop with Steven Quiller in Creede several years ago and had a similar experience, although the moose were farther away.
Anne Gifford replied:
Thank you for the comment, Joan. I just became familiar with Steven Quiller’s art last summer when I visited his mountain studio. How fun that you did a workshop with him! I hope you can get to Colorado for visits as much as your heart desires.
Sarah Irland
This is such a beautiful painting, Anne! I love the beautiful rhythm of the mother moose and her baby as they watch you. And such lovely color and light! I loved reading your description and can so relate to the mixed feelings you have when a painting goes out the door. I am always so glad that we can capture them in a photograph as something to remember.
