"Fishing for Conch"

20" x 26" - Oil

In this painting there is a 'conch' fork leaning on the rail.  The fork was used when a Bahamian fisherman threw an anchor overboard and then pulled the conch up from the bottom with the fork. The fisherman is leaning on a 'pry' (long pole) to balance his dingy.
