This Cornish painting is a piece of original art painted with oil on canvas by British artist Joanne Short.

'Dahlias and Dinghies, Durgan' by Joanne Short beautifully captures Durgan’s serene charm with her distinctive style, blending vibrant colour and detail to create a captivating coastal scene. This 24 x 24-inch oil on canvas invites viewers to experience the peaceful beauty of Cornwall, where cottages and gardens overlook the gentle waters of the Helford River.
