The tide pulls back and leaves the channel bare, a ribbon of blue and pink water winding between mudflats toward the open cove. Dark rock, edged in ochre lichen, anchors the foreground, and pines gather thick along the far shore under a sky stacked with soft clouds. This stretch of flats is worked by clam diggers at low tide, and farther out in the cove an oyster farm sits in the deeper water. It's a spot I return to again and again — this is one of several paintings from this same stretch of shore. Painted en plein air on Deer Isle, Maine, this piece catches that particular low-tide light — cool water against warm exposed mud, the whole scene laid open and still.

“The second was my stupidity in not availing myself of the opportunity of buying ‘La Terre Labourée’, of Miró, in London in 1939 for fifteen hundred dollars. Now, if it were for sale, it would be worth well over fifty thousand.”
― Peggy Guggenheim, Confessions of an Art Addict
