This painting went up on my blog Tuesday, January 29, 2008. I have added again to announce that it is now on my ebay auction site. I have also added a close up to show the brush strokes.
This is a popular walking path in Seattle. It has skaters, joggers, walkers and bikers in almost any weather. Sun is best and I love the long shadows of early morning and late afternoon.
Several months ago I was asked to write an article about the practice of daily painting for Women Painters of Washington, a group of professional artists in Washington State. I began a series of small paintings for this purpose. This painting was the first in this series. It opened by blog, and it now opens my eBay store.

It didn’t look like the kitten would fit in here to me, but take your eyes off her for a moment and he could show up just about anywhere. My guess is we both enjoyed the view.
