Art Blog from Cornwall

Cornwall is the most fantastic county in the UK, well as far as we are concerned, as its geographical dimensions allow you to travel from the rugged, windswept wide sandy beaches and cliffs of the North Coast of Cornwall to the sheltered coast and sub-tropical feel of the South Coast of Cornwall in just 7.7 miles between St Ives and Penzance. In between, there are moorlands, ancient standing stones, stunning vistas and the evocative remains of the once mighty tin mining industry. Cornwall has it all, and it has not gone unnoticed by the many artists who have frequented Cornwall for the past 200 years.
Joanne Short is a Cornish artist who has been painting since she was a child. She fell in love with the colours and landscapes of Cornwall, and they have continued to inspire her throughout her career.Joanne's paintings are full of life and magic; it is easy to see how much she enjoys creating them. In this blog post, we will take a closer look at Joanne's art and explore the inspiration behind it. 
John Dyer is a painter whose work celebrates the natural world in all its glory. His paintings of Cornwall are particularly loved for their fun, colourful and uplifting vibrancy. From the rugged coast to the colourful vegetation and gorgeous beaches, John's paintings reflect his love of nature and his passion for capturing its beauty on canvas. In this blog post, we'll take a look at John's life and work, as well as some of his most stunning paintings ofFrance, Italy,Australia and beyond.
