Painting Description
In this luminous still life, Cornish artist Joanne Short captures the beauty of spring through bold colour and decorative harmony. ‘Purple Gladioli in a Yellow Vase’ brings together vivid orange stripes, a patterned pink tablecloth and a richly painted yellow vase, creating a joyful setting for the elegant stems of purple gladioli arranged at the centre of the composition.
Joanne’s distinctive style shines through in the way she balances pattern and simplicity. The vertical backdrop contrasts with the repeating floral motifs of the tablecloth, while the vase, decorated with her characteristic Mediterranean accents, anchors the entire arrangement. The purple gladioli rise confidently, their petals rendered in soft variations of lilac and violet, adding rhythm and height to the piece.
This intimate 8 x 8 inch painting has all the qualities collectors admire in Joanne’s work. Her refined palette, carefully composed forms and celebration of everyday beauty create a wonderfully uplifting artwork that brings warmth and colour to any interior. As one of Cornwall’s most celebrated contemporary artists, Joanne’s still life paintings continue to be highly sought after for their elegance and sense of joy.
Perfect for a kitchen wall, reading nook or small gallery space, this vibrant piece offers an accessible opportunity to invest in a jewel-like original that brightens the room with pattern, colour and the gentle charm of springtime flowers.

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."

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."

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."
