From Nancy's Watermen Collection.
"While dining in a waterside restaurant on Prince Edward Island, I spied this Canadian waterman digging clams during low tide . He was there working along side his wife who has been included in several other paintings I produced from these references. Our waitress, his mother, said the couple was out there every day during season and clamming, along with morning fishing, provided a decent living. She could tell it was them by the pink headscarves the couple wore. The family had produced generations of watermen, and like our watermen of the Chesapeake Bay, she said "it just gets in your blood and you don't want to do nothing else!"
