My jogging course is along the embankments of the Kiryu River near my home. The air over the riverbed is especially refreshing just after a summer rain, and recently, perhaps as a result of the fitness boom, the number of walkers has been increasing. I decided to paint a scene of people walking their dogs in a refreshing breeze.
