Low tide always seemed to bring the Isle of Wight closer to the mainland, but this is the closest yet! Its a gentle summer day but this is the hour for bait diggers, not tourists. The single white boat glimmers in the calm scene.

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