A little girl with strawberry blond curls sits in tall golden grass against a weathered barn wall, wearing a plum jumper over a white blouse, with a tabby and white cat stretched out in the grass at her side. On the card that comes with the print, Daly writes that the charm of cats lies in their independent spirit and air of mystery, and that the girl in the painting is discovering a special closeness with her friend as the two of them pass the time away.

Offset lithograph printed by Litho-Krome Company on museum quality, acid-free, pH neutral coated paper, published from Daly's 1992 oil painting on masonite. Pencil signed "Jim Daly" at lower right and numbered 331/1500 at lower left, with the plate signature "Jim Daly © 1992" in the image. The margin carries the title and the line "Published from an oil painting." The edition was 1,500 signed and numbered prints plus 76 artist's proofs.
