Spring into Colour: New Original Paintings for Easter

Celebrate the arrival of spring with a vibrant new collection of original paintings by leading Cornish artists John Dyerand Joanne Short. Bursting with life, colour and a profound sense of place, this Easter release captures the joy, rhythm and renewal of the season across Cornwall’s coast, gardens and harbours.

From John Dyer’s energetic and painterly scenes — wild swimmers enjoying the sparkling waters of Falmouth, daffodil-fringed walks around Mount’s Bay, and clifftop gardens alive with colour and character — to Joanne Short’sserene, decorative views of springtime cottages, harbours and floral still lives, each painting in this collection invites the viewer into a world full of optimism and delight.

Flowers take centre stage — Cornish daffodils, primroses, moon daisies, irises, echiums, bluebells and blackthorn blossom emerge in full bloom, capturing the seasonal shift with painterly joy. In the background: bobbing sailboats, seagulls on the wing, palm-lined gardens and the sunlit architecture of much-loved coastal villages, from Cadgwith and Fowey to Trevaunance Cove and Helford Passage.

At the heart of these works is a celebration of connection — to nature, to place, and to the simple pleasures of life lived by the sea. Whether it’s a couple strolling through spring flowers, swimmers relishing the freedom of the open water, or a jug of tulips set against a patterned tablecloth, each piece tells a story of care, warmth and belonging.

This is a unique opportunity to invest in one-of-a-kind original paintings from two of Cornwall’s most distinctive and collectable contemporary artists. The Easter Collection is a joyful, life-affirming celebration of colour, creativity, and the spirit of spring.
