They were married in the church in 1997, and just two years later their eldest daughter was born on 11 August 1999, the day of the famous total solar eclipse over Cornwall. Joanne’s 2026 painting brings these memories full circle, returning to the same church and coastline as another eclipse passes across the Cornish sky.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThe ancient church sits amongst the trees beneath the sweeping green headland, while the eclipse glows dramatically above the sea. In the foreground, architectural leaves and blue flowers of sea holly rise from the golden landscape, giving the painting a wonderful sense of depth and connecting the extraordinary event in the sky with the distinctive plants of the Cornish coast.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003ePainted in Joanne Short’s highly recognisable style, flattened areas of glowing yellow, turquoise, green and deep blue transform Gunwalloe into a richly patterned celebration of place, memory and nature. It is both a contemporary Cornish landscape painting and a deeply personal record of an exceptional moment in time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"page-product-heading\"\u003eItem Information\u003c\/h3\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 Joanne Short (born 1967)\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 Joanne Short\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr class=\"even\"\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePainting size\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e12 x 12 inches\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr class=\"odd\"\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMedium\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOil on canvas\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr class=\"even\"\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFramed size\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e17.5 x 17.5 inches\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr class=\"odd\"\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFrame type\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\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.
