A selection of reviews from collectors of Joanne Short's paintings

★★★★★

A joy to look at each day

"Joanne has captured a superb view in joyously bright colours which draw the eye and please the soul."

Colin Muid

★★★★★

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."

Jean Rolt

★★★★★

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."

Kay Park

★★★★★

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."
