The Spit, Solent

20th Jul 1983

The spit which sticks out from Lepe Beach at certain times, features in many of Dad’s pictures. Here in this drawing he has given it a different treatment from usual, peopling it with all these figures. It’s funny to see some muffled up against the cold while others are nearly naked.

REP / PB

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