Crabbing

I know it well as we have a holiday house about 4 miles away from Wells. I actually have a photo I took earlier this year of exactly this scene which is waiting in my studio to paint - but you have beaten me to it!. Perfect rendition of this iconic scene. The Granary building certainly catches the eye. Your boats are very well done as well.

Thea, Thanks for your kind comments. Since this was painted (2004), I understand from someone who lives there and saw my painting that there have been lots of changes; the granary is now luxury apartments, the boats are gone, replaced by a large floating restaurant (?) and one of the shops was burned down. Not sure if this is all true but hopefully I have captured a period in time that will remind people of what it used to be like. I look forward to seeing your painting, so please send me a note when it is finished.
