This Cornish painting is a piece of original art painted with oil on canvas by British artist Joanne Short.

Joanne Short captures the serene beauty of Cornwall in her painting 'Day Trip to St Mawes', a vibrant 12 x 12-inch original oil on canvas. This delightful piece transports viewers to the picturesque village of St Mawes, with its charming cottages dotting the hillside and boats gently sailing across the tranquil waters of the harbour. 

In the foreground, the painting bursts to life with bold, colourful wildflowers and ferns on Pendennis headland in Falmouth, framing the idyllic coastal scene with a touch of nature’s beauty. Joanne Short’s characteristic clean lines and bright, expressive palette create a sense of warmth and joy as sailboats glide effortlessly through the calm waters of the estuary. The careful arrangement of colour and form gives the painting a sense of harmony, reflecting the peaceful atmosphere of this quintessential Cornish seaside location.
