Painting Description

This radiant still life by Cornish artist Joanne Short celebrates the joy of spring through colour, pattern and beautifully composed design. In ‘Spring Flowers on a Patterned Tablecloth’, three pots of primroses sit harmoniously together, each one painted with Joanne’s distinctive clarity of line, decorative rhythm and glowing palette.

The foreground tablecloth is a vibrant tapestry of stripes, curves and repeating motifs, creating a lively foundation for the flowers above. Behind them, the richly patterned tiles bring a Mediterranean warmth to the composition, their blues and yellows echoing the tones found in the ceramics and petals. The arrangement feels both contemporary and timeless, capturing the simple pleasure of flowers brought indoors and celebrated for their shape and colour.

Joanne’s careful balance of geometry and natural form is at the heart of this piece. The contrast between the soft petals and the precise motifs of the tiles and tablecloth creates a visual dialogue that draws the eye across the painting. As one of Cornwall’s leading colourist painters, Joanne’s work is cherished for its uplifting atmosphere and refined sense of place, and this intimate still life has all the qualities that collectors value.

Perfect for a home gallery wall or a cosy corner that would benefit from colour and charm, this jewel-like oil painting offers an accessible way to invest in an original work by one of Cornwall’s most celebrated contemporary artists.

A joy to look at each day

Colin Muid

Happy memories

"I bought this lovely painting because it featured the beach I spent much time on with my children . We played on it every summer holiday for years. The picture captures the joy and the memories I cherish in old age. It hasn’t changed. And the painting gets it just right. Seeing it everyday now brings it back wonderfully."

Jean Rolt

Puts a smile on my face

"I am so, so pleased with my painting it’s hard to find the words to express how happy I am to see it every day hanging on my wall. This painting brings back happy times. I have hung it in the same area that I have another Joanne Short painting of Falmouth, and they compliment each other so well, with their bright vibrant colours."

Kay Park

Joanne has both captured this remarkable view and embodied the joyful beauty

"I have been an avid fan of Joanne for twenty years. This view is especially significant as it is the beautiful vista we would observe on making our way down the hill to our working boat on race days. It represents the onset of what is always a wonderful day on the water in Cornwall and Joanne has both captured this remarkable view and embodied the joyful beauty."

Kristin Johnson

★★★★★

Spectacular!

"We are thrilled with Joanne's lively painting, capturing brilliantly an exciting event we all recognise. We particularly like the sense of observing quietly from a distance, hidden beyond the tall, dark trees and houses marching across the foreground. This will be a wonderful conversation piece above our dinner table."
