Free Spirit: Glimpses of the Spirit of Broadland opens at The Boathouse, Ormesby Broad, on Saturday, November 25.

It will feature a selection of original oil paintings and prints by Mr Dane who has enjoyed painting the Broads and exploring the landscape for more than 40 years.

Mr Dane, who lives on the edge of Sutton Fen, said: 'A boat on the Broads can offer both peace and freedom. The moment the mooring ropes are released, the boat becomes your own personal island and fortunately there are still unspoilt hideaways and timeless places to escape to in Broadland.'

Free Spirit: Glimpses of the Spirit of Broadland is at The Boathouse, Ormesby Broad, Ormesby St Michael, NR29 3LP, from November 25 until December 3.
