This is not my father’s local beach. It may be entirely imaginary, or a mixture of several memories. I love the turbulence of the stormy sea and the way people and dogs carry on doing the usual beach pursuits, but with a few extra layers of clothing!

REP / PB

Richard included bait diggers as a main subject or tiny in the foreground or background in dozens of works.
