Crabbers and Musselers

I have been fascinated by boats of all sizes for many years. A couple of years ago, it struck me forcibly that the wooden fishing boats along the Norfolk coast were fast disappearing; this led me to start seeking them out, and producing a series of paintings of them, before they disappear forever. Boats are not my only interest however, as can be seen by scrolling down. TOOLS OF THE TRADE Watercolour 56 x 76cm, 2010 - Sold THE OLD MUSSEL-BOAT, BRANCASTER STAITHE Watercolour, 38 x 56cm, 2006 - sold ( The same boat as below, seen in its glorious location ) FLAT-BOTTOMED CLINKER MUSSEL-BOAT Watercolour 56 x 38cm, 2009 - sold BRANCASTER STAITHE NEW QUAY Watercolour 56 x 76cm, 2009 - sold Painted on location, despite a strong gusty wind and other hazards, such as a hungry dog trying to eat my packed lunch!

Forthcoming Exhibition

Image
Major one-man show of Andrew Dibben's paintings at The Gallery , Picturecraft, in Lees Yard, Holt, North Norfolk , starting on Friday 29th August 2014. The exhibition commemorates Andrew's 25 years as a full-time professional artist, and 45 years since enrolling at the then Norwich School of Art (now Norwich University of the Arts). There will be two main themes in this exhibition: the small wooden working boats of the Norfolk and Suffolk coast, and the landscape of Kelling and Salthouse Heaths. These are both endangered subjects: wooden boats are fast disappearing from our coastline, while Norfolk has lost 90% of its heathland over the last 200 years. The British Isles hold the majority of Europe's heathland. Here are a few of the paintings that will be on show: Fishing Gear, Aldeburgh Lifeboat Station 38 x 56cm (Sold) Hut No. 11, Aldeburgh  38 x 56cm Refitting, Southwold  38 x 56cm (Sold) Four Ways, Kelling Heath  38 x 56cm (Sold) Saltho...
