Name: John Dyer
Art Work:
Above: A Day in St Mawes. 24 x 18 inches.

Statement: "For me life is about family, fun, colour and taking an optimistic view of the world.  When I paint my work naturally records and celebrates all of these elements.  The paintings are a narrative of my life and hopefully radiate positive energy and love from the canvases.  I don't even try to paint exactly what I see and I don't paint only what I feel - but I do paint that space in-between the two and that is why I paint.  Only a painting can visualise this.  My dream is that when you look at my paintings you see your story."

Name: Joanne Short
Art Work:
Above: Cakes on Plates. 12 x 12 inches. Oil on canvas
Below: Cup Cakes on the Balcony, St Mawes. 12 x 12 inches. Oil on canvas

Statement: "I love to paint the beauty and wonders of Cornwall with its glistening light and magical colours. There is nowhere in the world like Cornwall when the sun shines. I love to capture a glimpse of joy whilst looking out of a cafe window or having tea and cake on a balcony watching the world sail by. I like to think that my paintings reveal a moment of calm and tranquility amidst a hectic world; something to remind us of our holidays and rare moments of relaxation."
Joanne Short.
