Painting Description
This Cornwall painting is a piece of original art painted with acrylic on canvas byCornish artist John Dyer.
John Dyer, one of Cornwall's most distinguished contemporary artists, captures a quintessential scene of coastal life in his vibrant painting, 'Blue Sky and Ferry Boats, Greenbank, Falmouth'. Measuring 30 x 30 inches, this original acrylic on canvas invites collectors into a dynamic and playful composition, rich with colour and energy. The scene, viewed from the iconic Greenbank Hotel in Falmouth, looks across the Fal River towards the picturesque village of Flushing, creating a lively narrative of boats, ferries, and sea birds all basking under the brilliance of a Cornish blue sky.
Dyer’s signature bold and expressive brushstrokes perfectly capture the joy of life on the water, where sailboats, ferries, and coastal life dance in harmony. The vivid blues of the sea and sky are punctuated by pops of reds, yellows, and greens from the busy vessels, creating a sense of movement and exuberance. The boats are brought to life with meticulous detail, offering a playful yet refined portrayal of Falmouth’s bustling harbour and its vibrant ferry routes.
This artwork is more than a visual celebration of Falmouth’s nautical charm—it is an investment in a moment of joy, a piece of Cornwall's cultural identity, and a testament to John Dyer’s mastery of capturing the essence of place. Collectors will appreciate the painting’s ability to evoke a sense of place and an atmosphere of relaxation and playfulness, perfectly embodying the spirit of Cornwall’s coastal life.
John Dyer’s works are sought after by collectors worldwide and held in prestigious private and public collections. His art transcends the canvas, making each piece a part of a broader narrative of the artist's love for Cornwall and the natural world. This original piece offers the discerning collector an opportunity to own a slice of Cornish life through the eyes of one of its most celebrated painters.
Secure this vibrant and timeless piece to enhance your collection with the unmistakable joy and energy that only John Dyer can deliver.

"There is an innocence and freshness to John Dyer's art that follows a tradition in Cornwall that includes the paintings of Cornwall by Alfred Wallis, Christopher Wood, Fred Yates and Bryan Pearce. Rather than trying to record what he sees, John sets out to capture the 'essence' of his subject. The 'essence' of seagulls, cats, dogs, bobbing boats, or exploding fireworks communicate far more strongly through John's brushstrokes than they would if drawn more traditionally. It is this ability to capture the 'essence' of what is important that seems to appeal to his collectors who have shown great vision and originality in their own careers, such as Tim Smit, Alan Titchmarsh, Toyah Willcox & Kim Wilde."

Happy dipping days
"I just couldn’t resist this lovely painting of ‘Chilly dippers’ especially as I have recently discovered cold water swimming for myself! This reminds me of the fun and sheer exhilaration of swimming in the open air with like minded friends. Thank you John for this wonderful portrayal."

The Best Present Ever!
"I wanted a present, to cheer up my husband, who had been poorly, working far too hard, and was feeling a bit ‘under the weather’. The colours and happiness that radiate from the painting are amazing and hypnotic. It was the best gift I could ever have bought, he was gobsmacked and so pleased...and the swift and friendly service from John and his wife Joanne, who delivered the painting themselves, was excellent."

Stunning painting
"I am so thrilled with this purchase - the painting brings joy to my whole family every time we see it on our wall (and it’s the first thing we see when we enter our home!). The colours are beautifully vibrant and there’s something new to appreciate each time you look at it.

This painting really captures the atmosphere
"I’m so thrilled with this latest addition to my John Dyer collection. I can almost smell the delicious aroma wafting from the cooking pot on the fire! It’s all the more meaningful having spent time myself exploring the culture of Cusco. This painting really captures the atmosphere and brings back happy memories of my travels in Peru."

"Every time I pass this painting in my kitchen it makes me smile. The infectious positivity it radiates is amazing and to be able to convey this through art in an incredible talent that John Dyer has in abundance. Thank you very much for providing my spring and summer in a painting! The whole purchase experience was faultless and the delivery in person was just the icing on the cake! Many thanks and I look forward to adding more paintings over the coming years."
