Clamming in Willapa Bay

This past Thanksgiving weekend, my daughter and her husband went out clamming.  They ordered clamming licenses on-line, studied up and learned all about how to dig for clams, and then went when the tide was out and brought back several clams which they then proceeded to make clam chowder out of.  I don't like seafood, but felt I needed to at least try it... surprisingly the bite I had was yummy!

This painting is of them walking out to where they dug for clams.  It is a 10x30" acrylic painting on linen canvas.  (I have never painted on linen before, which is what I accidentally ordered.  I have decided it is what I want to paint on from now on!)

I am so thankful to have family willing to learn and try new things.  It makes life fun and gives me interesting things to paint!

Stay posted for more scenes from this quaint fishing village we are now located in for a little while.
