Coupling


Oil on linen on panel, 9 x 12 in. Available at the Clymer Museum of Art

This painting is based on the photo I took by Lake Chelan in Washington a few years ago. Lately, I'm interested in simplifying the composition. For this piece, I started out with other geese around this couple, then I eliminated those extra geese. It is like composing a Haiku, rather than writing a long poem.
