It depicts four children, at the water's edge preparing their baits to catch crabs.  Full of light and very atmospheric.

Phyllis Morgans was a painter, born in Enfield.  She went to St Martins School of Art, initially studying Fashion Design but later turning to painting, mostly portraiture and illustration.  After her marriage she lived in Dursley in Gloucestershire and continued to paint exhibiting with The Royal Institute of Oil Painters, the Royal Society of Marine Artists and having a considerable number of solo shows in the Cotswolds area.  She became a member of the Royal Glasgow Institute of Fine Art (RGI) and was made an Honorary Freeman of the Society of Painter-Stainers.  She won awards for her work including a national contest organised by 'She' magazine and her work was reproduced, a number in the Laing calendars. 

Morgans moved to Walberswick in Suffolk in the early 70s where she continued to paint and exhibit.  Her work is held in a number of public and private collections including the Norris Museum in St Ives, North Hertfordshire Museum, Ashwell Village Museum and others.
