This year I decided to create more of my ever popular Seascape Valentine Cards. I sell these cards on Etsy and they are ideal for someone who loves Cornwall and wants to share precious memories with someone else who feels the same.
The cards have the paintings set inside a heart shaped aperture. It isn’t easy to finding paintings that will fit the heart shape and can be turned into a Valentines card.
The card above is a very simple beach scene, with turquoise sand rolling on to the beach, with a hint of surf.
I painted this on whilst sat on bench overlooking Fishermans Cove near Gunwalloe in Cornwall but it could be anywhere. I was trying to capture the surf crashing on the beach.
This was painted from Castle Beach, Falmouth looking twards the entrance to the Helford River. It is a moody day with different skies and the sun is reflecting on the water. Something a little different from my usual style.
Godrevy beach is always a favourite and I am sure a lot of people have very special memories of time spent on this beach. The perfect card to share precious memories with someone you love.
This card – shown in position, is painted on a heart shape, with a gold irridescent heart background. This is a slightly different style but gives a slight shine.
Update:
Sadly this card didn’t sell, was it because the painting had a heart shape ? I shall have to think about that one.
