Guy Anderson (1906 – 1998) was very much a "Seattle" painter even if he did paint peripatetically, using Kenneth Callahan's cabin at Granite Falls (where Anderson himself bought a cabin in the late 1950s), Morris Graves crude shack at Fidalgo Island, or any other hospitality that allowed him to escape the city. By 1959 he moved to the Skagit Valley, and rented a studio at the outskirts of La Conner. This painting was likely executed there, and is consistent with his regular work on paper at the time.
