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

Joanne Short, renowned for her vibrant and expressive depictions of the Cornish landscape, brings to life the tranquil beauty of the church at St Just in Roseland in her painting 'View through the Wildflowers, St Just in Roseland'. This 12 x 12-inch original oil on canvas beautifully captures the iconic St Just in Roseland Church nestled along the serene waters of the Fal Estuary, framed by a rich tapestry of wildflowers in the foreground.

In this joyful composition, the soft, golden hues of the church's stone walls stand out against the lush greenery and the cool blues of the water, creating a harmonious interplay of light and colour. Joanne Short’s signature style of simplified shapes and bright, bold colours transforms this quiet scene into an inviting and uplifting work of art. The pink foxgloves and white daisies in the foreground provide a burst of natural beauty, drawing the viewer into the landscape as though gazing through nature’s own window.

The balance between architecture, nature, and the sense of place is a hallmark of Short’s work, making this painting a perfect representation of Cornwall’s timeless charm. The tall palm trees, a common feature in Cornwall’s coastal areas, give the scene a subtropical feel, adding an element of exoticism to the familiar English church setting.

This original painting is an ideal acquisition for collectors who appreciate contemporary Cornish art with a vibrant yet peaceful aesthetic. Joanne Short’s works are celebrated for their ability to convey the essence of a place through her use of dynamic colours and forms, and 'View through the Wildflowers, St Just in Roseland' is no exception.

Available exclusively through our Cornwall art gallery, this piece captures the beauty of one of Cornwall’s most picturesque locations and serves as a timeless addition to any art collection, blending traditional subject matter with a fresh, modern approach.
