Original Painting by Cornish Artist John Dyer.","description":"\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eInspired by a walk the artist took along the Cornish coast, \u003cem\u003e‘Coastal Walk, Porthallow’ \u003c\/em\u003ecaptures the exhilarating moment when the path opens onto the village, beach and sea below.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eJohn Dyer looks down through luxuriant coastal planting towards Porthallow’s sheltered cove. Palms, succulents and tall architectural leaves fill the foreground in vivid pinks, blues and greens, while walkers and their dogs make their way along the path. The elevated viewpoint gives the painting an immediate sense of discovery, inviting the viewer to share the artist’s first glimpse of the bay.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eBelow, the beach curves around clear turquoise water alive with swimmers, small boats and traditional fishing craft. People launch and retrieve boats from the shore, families enjoy the shallows and figures gather beside the sea. Gulls and puffins sweep across the brilliant blue sky, while more seabirds and a black dog appear among the foreground plants, adding humour and narrative throughout the scene.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThe white cottages of Porthallow cluster beside the beach, their dark roofs and flashes of vivid red set against the richly wooded hillside. The elevated viewpoint, heightened colour and great sweeping curve of the bay bring a distant echo of David Hockney’s landscapes, in which roads, hills and shorelines become dynamic shapes that carry the eye through the composition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eJohn’s energetic acrylic marks make that movement entirely his own, leading us from the abundant foreground planting and winding path towards the sparkling sea and open horizon. Coral, turquoise, yellow, violet and fresh green combine to create a joyful story of colour, expressing the warmth and vitality of the day rather than simply describing the view.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThe painting celebrates the particular pleasure of exploring Cornwall on foot, when a coastal path can suddenly reveal a hidden cove filled with boats, wildlife and summer activity. At 24 inches square, \u003cem\u003e‘Coastal Walk, Porthallow’\u003c\/em\u003e is a substantial statement painting that would bring colour, movement and the lasting memory of a Cornish adventure into a home.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"table-data-sheet\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr class=\"odd\"\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDescription\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFramed Original Painting\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr class=\"even\"\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eArtist\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCornish Artist John Dyer (born 1968)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr class=\"odd\"\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSigned by the Artist\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSigned by John Dyer\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr class=\"even\"\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePainting size\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e24 x 24 inches\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr class=\"odd\"\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMedium\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAcrylic on canvas\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr class=\"even\"\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFramed size\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e29.5 x 29.5 inches\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr class=\"odd\"\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFrame type\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe St Ives style picture frame is a Renaissance-inspired cassetta frame, Italian for 'little box', featuring a white stain finish that highlights the wood grain.
