 Last week I took a late evening walk at Point Defiance Park.  The sun was low, but still casting shadows and sparkling sunlight.  As I walked down the path near the rose garden, this big goose and I converged.  He was very polite.  He stopped and waited; when he discovered that I was going to let him go first, he stepped across the path into the dappled evening sunlight.  This 8 x 10 oil painting on gessoed hardboard represents our encounter.  I especially enjoyed exaggerating the contrasting orange and blue of the shadows and sunlight.
