The Clam Diggers, Watercolor
11x13"
I worked on this scene in oil last winter, and was not happy with my efforts. So a couple weeks ago, I tried it with watercolor. To me, the beauty of this scene lies in the brilliance of the morning light, with the thousands of sparkles dancing all around the the silhouetted figures. This beautiful cove in Cape Rosier, (Harborside, Maine), was a destination I set out for last summer. I had read the book "Maine Farm" many years ago and had always wanted to investigate this little cove in mid-coast Maine. Wouldn't you know, when I arrived, there were two people (perhaps a father and son?) raking clams, and the beauty of the scene as they walked away from the sea just struck me.
