Inspiration Falmouth art gallery

I went in a lot of the little galleries in Falmouth, Trelissick and St Ives. It is no surprise that subject matter for painting in Cornwall is usually the sea/boats/cliffs/etc, but it is something that never seems to get old. Some artists have their own unique way of portraying Cornish scenes. I particularly like those who paint a painting, not something photorealistic.

There was an exhibition of boats on in one of the rooms at Falmouth art gallery. These were my favourite two artists - I look some rather bad snaps of the paintings.

Alexander Creswell
I love how he paints the waves - colour, texture, movement.

I suggest looking at his website or the gallery one for better images!

Philippe Gavin
The whole of each painting is like water.

I've been doing a bit of painting myself, but nothing like theses... yet.
