Description
I have lived in Colorado for 47 years and have never seen as much rain as we have had in 2023. I love Colorado, but also miss the misty, rainy days that I grew up with in upstate New York. Inclement weather makes me happy (as long as I don't have to shovel it). This year is special in Colorado, for during a month that sees the brief green of spring long since replaced by parched brown fields and grasses, we now find ourselves surrounded by the rareity of a jungle.

Stunning painting, Anne. I grew up camping throughout Colorado as a little girl and understand what you mean about how unusual this kind of scene would be. You have done a marvelous job of showing the bright greens. f
Anne Gifford replied:
Thank you AnnaJo. How lucky that you got to camp in Colorado throughout your childhood! I am a transplant, although a long ago one.

A beautiful painting, Anne! I love the beautiful light in contrast to those dark clouds! Wonderful! Voted. L/F
Anne Gifford replied:
Thank you for the comment and vote, Sarah! I notice that kind of lighting in your marvelous paintings as well. Lit up trees in front of dark clouds to me create one of my favorite looks in nature.

Nice to see that you are not having the fires as in the last several years. I have never seen the Colorado depicted in your beautiful painting, Anne. The green is so lush!
Anne Gifford replied:
Thank you Scott! We have not seen this Colorado either. It is like the verdant east has been transported to our state for a summer!
