Tug of War
"And they say fishing's easy," says the artist about this painting where a man’s fishing line—with a fish at one end—humorously gets intercepted by a large bird. Meanwhile, in the foreground, a man struggles to hold onto his leashed dog by a large pine tree. In the distance, a receding ocean calmly sits below a grouping of anthropomorphized clouds.
William Schaeuble finds mundane scenes and turns them into something odd enough to amuse. Schaeuble approaches painting through the lens of a self-documentarian who observes and records his moments—as he sees them—so they can be relived tomorrow.

Schaeuble approaches painting through the lens of a self-documentarian who observes and records his moments—as he sees them—so they can be relived tomorrow.
