If you love the British coastline you’ll love having your very own seascape view.
Moody Skies Over Port Isaac
This stormy coastal scene of Port Isaac has been created in Kerry’s unique naïve style. Her love of the coastline and all its character shines through in this beautiful image.
The tumble of village houses and buildings adds to the sense of the storm about to hit this otherwise friendly welcoming village. Each of the buildings is a reproduction of those you would find if visiting this part of the English seaside. It also alludes to the precarious position it holds, in the South westerly corner of England, often touched by the Atlantic swell.
The inky blue seas are being stirred up and there is a drama to the image of the impending storm about to break. Each of the tiny details captured in this painting add to the depth and fine layers that have been applied to the canvas. They will also invite you to look time and again and admire this beautiful part of the world.
In this entrancing Port Isaac stormy coastal scene artist Kerry Shearer conveys the true nature of coastal living.
Waiting for you is this atmospheric contemporary paintin from Naïve artist Kerry Shearer. You can celebrate what it means to be living on the edge of the North Atlantic coast.
The is sea reminiscent of an oyster shell in both shape colour. With it you get an immediate sense of the narrative and setting of the piece. Against the backdrop of the incoming storm pretty Port Isaac makes a valiant effort to remain a calm safe haven. Harbouring those living and working along this magnificent shore. Gaze and smile upon the quirky buildings. This whimsical style lends itself to the notion this place has a sense of history. This is not the first or last storm it will ever see.
Typical weather-worn cobblestoned and white clad buildings are all referenced here. Texture within the painting is important. Where the artist has employed her own sgraffito techniques it indicates the touch of human hands. How they have helped to shape this little stretch of the Cornish coast.
There is true drama conveyed in the movement of the water. The inky deepest blues contrasting with the white foam in the waves of the Atlantic swell. This water is dangerous but no less mesmerising for it.
Looking at the subtle layers of dark and light pigments in the sky you get a sense the clouds rolling in and the wind speed picking up, as the wind pushes in clouds from the west.
The best part is of course that you can enjoy this Port Isaac stormy coastal scene everyday from the comfort of your own cosy home with no worry that you’ll be caught in the ensuing rains.
