The story

The gazelle had been told, by a very serious-looking armadillo in a waistcoat, that beige was the new black. It believed him. Now, three hours into standing perfectly still in the beige waiting room of the Ministry of Subtle Transitions, it wondered if it had misheard. The clock on the wall, also beige, had not moved. It blinked. Once. The armadillo had left a note: 'Patience is a pigment.' The gazelle did not know what that meant. It waited.

The brief

A single beige gazelle stands frozen in the center of an empty, sunlit beige room, its ears twitching slightly as if listening to a sound only it can hear, while dust motes drift in the slanted afternoon light that catches the faint sheen of its fur.

The painting and the story were written from this same scene, so the two describe one moment.
