Clamming

These women digging clams in the shallows of the sound represent a heritage we North Carolinians should remember, respect and revere. Women do gather. Most of the time, we are the nesters and the nurturers. The people who have lived at the coast for several generations and learned to thrive there, are to be learned from. It would serve our state to save some of their heritage from hotels and golf courses.

This is a palette knife painting with oils on canvas. The title gives it a feminist theme of the woman's "dance of life". I was mainly interested in the figures and the movement but I eventually gave it the subject of feminine know-how. I do not consider myself a "feminist....just an able bodied artist.
