After reading “Where the Crawdads Sing”, I made this piece, thinking of the setting of the marshes and the part the tides played in the progress of the story. My father is a fisherman, and when I was younger, we had a fishing store and would spend evenings going to the beach and marshes to go fishing or digging for clams. The story reminded me of so many memories and feelings of smelling the low tide, the salty air, and feeling my hands in the water, sand or mud.

This piece is finished with a gloss varnish to protect the painting and preserve its vibrancy. It is sold unframed, so you can choose what kind of matte and frame will work best for your space. The painting will arrive signed and dated, along with a certificate of authenticity.
