The Cornish coastline provides the painter with a rich array of salt, sand, shadows, rocks and reflections in which to create his atmosphere. A collection of original marine artworks in Cornwall may be a lasting investment for the discerning collector wishing to reflect a unique sense of place within his home interior. Nicholas St John Rosse has pursued a unique vision of the relationships between people, water and the coastal landscape in a series of original oil paintings.
The Inspiration Behind Nicholas St John Rosse’s Work
Having settled in Cornwall with his family in 1981, Nicholas St John Rosse has been inspired by the tides, weather, light, coastal topography and the unique sense of place that this county possesses. Nicholas’ beach scenes are formed initially by sketches and colour studies made on the spot, which are then developed later in the studio.
His works portray a sense of place, but with a focus upon the interactions between people, water, sand and rock.
What Makes His Coastal Paintings Stand Out?
Nicholas St John Rosse creates mostly with oils and has developed his realism from his experience with realist painting. Most of his paintings include people at the beach, acting as frames of the painting and allowing viewers to partake in the experience of the moment.
Reflections, wet sand, ever-shifting light, and coastal scenery combine to create the impressionist images of Nicholas’ online shop.
A range of Nicholas St John Rosse original artwork is currently available through his online shop, including the following: At Trebarwith – a study, Busy on the Beach, Cool Reflection and At Corbyn Head, Torquay, as well as many other original paintings.
Choosing Original Art for Your Space
There are plenty of ways to turn an original coastal painting into a feature for the living room, hallway, office or hotel, but which type of art would suit you best at home? Selecting the right original art is not only about style and taste; room size, colour scheme and lighting should be considered as well.
