Gallery

West Cornwall is well-known as a magnet for artists and both nearby Newlyn and St. Ives have long-standing reputations as centres for world-class art. The Hotel Penzance and The Bay Restaurant have a permanent exhibition of work from local outstanding artists. The artist on display is changed each month, with prints available from all our guest artists for sale from reception.


Jan Phethean 23.03.13 – 20.04.13

Paintings & children’s book launch I paint in response to the inspiration of the land and the sea, My paintings are a narrative of a life lived within two very different landscapes, the chalk of Sussex and the granite coast of Cornwall. I have always felt compelled to explore, photograph and paint the countryside in all its changing moods and seasons. My paintings are unpopulated, I am the sole observer. The marks in the landscape made by man, the winding paths and ancient field system

Tony Shorthouse 15.06.13 – 13.07.13

Oil & watercolour landscapes & coastal. I work mainly in oils in a representational, impressionistic style endeavouring to put on canvas the beauty of the countryside and coast that is Cornwall. I have painted most of my life but only professionally since retiring from my police career in 1994. My aim is always to paint light rather than objects and that is a constant challenge. Perhaps, because of my background, what you see is what you get – there are no hidden messages. I hope y

Jean Foulds 13.07.13 – 10.08.13

Paintings & sculpture Jean’s work is influenced by the coastal landscape of her surroundings and the maritime climate of West Cornwall, and the sense of being in that environment. Recent paintings have been developed from her sculptural forms, which evolve from the clay, and which represent a sense of being, from the inside.  www.jeanfouldsart.co.uk

Figurative seascapes & landscapes oil/acrylics 2013 is my year of painting water.  Opening in February and finishing in December, the show, titled SPLASH!, features rough seas, calm seas, peaceful inland lakes and gushing waterfalls on canvas and board. Sometimes my work depicts sail boats, swimmers, fishermen and surfers but water is the common denominator. Working in or under water is very challenging. In these situations, sketching is impossible so I rely on the underwater camera to captu
