This painting was bought to remind us of Cornwall as we are moving house to Okehampton. Originally bought as a house warming present with out my wife’s knowledge.
However, my proximity to the gallery prompted John to hand deliver. This was a much better surprise than I could have hoped for. Thank you for making my wife’s day.
Excellent service.
The print of Joanne Short’s lovely painting is of great quality, with the sharp vibrant colours being recreated accurately. A great addition to our artwork.
Beautiful paintings, great service and lovely people.
This was exactly what I was looking for - the perfect wedding present for a couple about to go on their honeymoon safari. It is even more joyful and vibrant than it looked online. The absolute bonus for me was when I picked up the phone to place a ‘rushed’ delivery, it was a John Dyer who answered and he couldn’t have been any friendlier or more helpful - just a fantastic experience. Thank you! Hoping you paint somewhere in Jersey too someday soon!
Another lovely print by Joanne Short. Lovely strong yet harmonious colours.
This is the 2nd framed Joanne Short print I’ve purchased from the John Dyer gallery. Lovely colours, beautifully composed. Ordering was easy and delivery very quick.
Fantastic art that our whole family loves and the service was great. Thanks x
Soft Spring Light, Porthminster Beach, St Ives by Ted Dyer is stunningly beautiful. The quality of the light, the subtle colours and the fine details of Porthminster are exquisitely captured. So much so it transports me to being there in the picture and evokes feelings of very happy holiday memories. Thank you Ted, the painting will bring us much pleasure and happiness always. Thanks to you John for your expert eye: the frame suits the picture perfectly. The painting arrived promptly and robustly packaged as usual. We are thrilled with our very special painting and will treasure it.
This print did not disappoint the colours are so vibrant and the the quality of the print is so good. I would definitely purchase again from this gallery as they have so many beautiful paintings, canvases and posters

Great representation of the day capturing all the fun of the car parade through Fowey. Done as only John Dyer can!
Useful bag with the added bonus of a scene from the Fowey Classic Car Show.
John's painting really captures the fun of the day.
Beautiful reminder of my beloved Fowey now hanging in my German home!
Looks amazing.
Thank-you so much for the incredibly prompt, super-efficient service!
I am really pleased with my print of Padstow Harbour. It reminds me of all the happy holidays we have spent in Padstow and it looks great on my kitchen wall.

In the early 20th century, a small fishing village in St Ives, Cornwall, was home to a very special artist. Alfred Wallis was born in Devon and lived in various coastal towns, including Devonport and Penzance, before settling in St Ives. Alfred Wallis was a self-taught painter who had no formal artistic training and began painting at the age of 70. In his early life, he had a working background as a fisherman and in other manual trades, including jobs as a cabin boy and cook, later taking on odd jobs to make ends meet. Wallis painted from memory and imagination, often depicting port landscapes and shipping scenes inspired by his maritime experiences.
