Hope Springs #downeastaculturalheritage What's behind this locked door

What's behind this locked door in Smith & Son Seafood in  Atlantic

It inspired my latest painting of Core Sound as seen from Atlantic NC

This view of the corner of Clayton Fulcher Seafood in Atlantic caught my eye the moment I saw it

I saw men and women on either side of the culling table culling fish into the baskets at their feet

This boat is the "Dimond City"

This scene with the pine sprigs growing out of the top of a pylon at Smith and Sons Seafood in Atlantic, NC., was one of many such moments for me. SOLD
