This striking large-format painting by John Dyer captures the infectious energy and brilliance of a summer’s day on Porthminster Beach in St Ives. From sunbathers and swimmers to fishing boats and seagulls in flight, every detail brims with movement and light.

Seen through a frame of exotic plants and bright Cornish wildflowers, the iconic view unfolds in Dyer’s distinctive style — a symphony of bold colour, playful figures, and storytelling charm. The sea sparkles in shades of turquoise and blue as windbreaks and beach towels dot the sand, evoking the carefree spirit of Cornwall at its finest.

‘Turquoise Tide and Cornish Light’ is a statement painting filled with life, perfect for collectors who want to bring the joy of the Cornish coast into their home.
