John has taken that familiar Cornish maritime spectacle and carried it across the bay, filling the sea with red sails, white sails and the movement of boats travelling beneath the great landmark of St Michael’s Mount.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThe warm red sails create a striking rhythm across the painting, contrasting with the intense blues and turquoise of the sea, while one of the boats carries a bold, billowing Cornish flag sail, bringing an unmistakable sense of place and identity to the scene. Swimmers enjoy the water between the passing boats while gulls, puffins and other seabirds wheel overhead, giving the whole painting a wonderful sense of summer activity and movement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eIn the distance, St Michael’s Mount anchors the composition, its castle rising above the subtropical planting of the island.

A mother dolphin swims alongside her calf through the clear Cornish water, surrounded by mackerel, seaweed and jewel-like details. By revealing life both above and below the sea, John connects the sailing traditions of Mount’s Bay with the wildlife that inhabits these waters.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eAt 35.5 inches square, ‘Sailing with Dolphins, Mount’s Bay’ is a substantial and joyful original painting, bringing together the Sea Salts and Sails Festival at Mousehole, traditional Cornish sailing boats, St Michael’s Mount and dolphins in one exuberant celebration of Mount’s Bay.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eThe painting is presented in a contemporary white frame, ready to hang and enjoy.\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 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\u003e 35.5 x 35.5 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\u003e\u003cspan\u003e41 x 41 inches\u003c\/span\u003e\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.
