This Cornwall painting is a piece of original art painted with oil on canvas by Cornish artist Ted Dyer.

“Wild Irises and Sailing Boats at St Mawes” is a radiant 24 x 36-inch oil on canvas by Cornish artist Ted Dyer. With carefully placed brushstrokes, the artist captures a dramatic shaft of sunlight sweeping across the beach, forging a vivid contrast between deep shadows in the foreground and the brilliant glow along the water’s edge. Swiftly passing clouds heighten the effect, creating that uniquely Cornish interplay of light and dark as they scud across the sky.

In the foreground, a lively cluster of wild irises adds a flourish of colour, echoing the energy of the sailboats setting off on sparkling blue waters. Together, these elements capture the carefree spirit of a sunlit day in St Mawes, making the painting a striking homage to Cornwall’s ever-changing coastal charm.
