This John Dyer painting of the Helford Passage captures springtime in Cornwall at its best. Warm sunshine baths the headland and illuminates the daffodils and daisies. The vast Cornish blue sky creates a great sense of space as our view is taken out across the beach to the tall pines beyond. Sailing boats and pleasure boats animate the painting and people dance and play in the foreground in the long grass. A perfect glimpse of Cornwall.
