Norfolk Waterscapes
Author: Andrew Dibben
Andrew Dibben's watercolours will be well known to those who have an interest in the vibrant art scene in Norfolk. Not only are his paintings increasingly sought after as originals at galleries and frequently at exhibitions throughout the region, they also appear on greetings cards, calendars and as limited-edition prints. His first book Andrew Dibben's Norfolk further underlined the growing public appreciation of his work, and calls for a further volume have led the artist to create many new images for this, his second book.
Taking the region's famed waterscapes as his theme, Andrew Dibben's Norfolk Waterscapes contains over a hundred paintings, many new and reproduced here for the first time. This beautiful book looks not only at the well-loved Norfolk features such as The Broads, the fragile cliffs and expansive beaches, but also at the beauty and tranquillity of the creek and mudflats at Overy Staithe, the watermills of the Bure and Wensum, breathtaking sunsets, wild birds and stormy skies.
With chapter headings such as Fresh Water, Salt Water and Marsh, each picture is accompanied by the artist's reflections upon the place, and the techniques he has employed to create the painting. This book will be treasured by all those who love the landscape, people and places of Norfolk.
