Autographed William Forrest Martin oil painting on backer board expressing his unique perspective on the human experience as illustrated by four farm-class people (indicated by their clothing) each holding a white goose. They have expressionless faces with lines from years of daily work and routine tasks etched in their faces. Their strong hands have a sure, familiar, grip on the well-fed birds. The task at hand is not new, and is known to them as much as waking up and getting dressed each day. Titled "Domestics", Martin uses clearly defined lines, minimal detail, and a limited palette of muted colors to create subtlety. The unusual background patterns in matching colors easily blend while simultaneously redirecting the eye and drawing attention away from the subjects to create an impression that the scene is insignificant - just uneventful daily life of common folk. Another thought-provoking piece that share the artists feeling about human existence. Unframed 17" x 30". (Sweetwater Trust)
