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.

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