The story
Arthur found the goosander in his kitchen one Tuesday. It did not move or speak. He sat at the table and drank tea while the bird filled the doorway and blocked the light. They watched the wall together for several hours. Arthur decided not to mention it at work. The bird eventually shifted one inch to the left. Arthur finished his cup and went to bed.
The brief
A quietly enormous goosander stands in a beige kitchen, occupying most of the room beside a small oak table. Grey afternoon light falls through a window onto grey floorboards. The bird is white and grey with a red bill, staring straight ahead. A half-empty teacup sits on the table next to it.
The painting and the story were written from this same scene, so the two describe one moment.
