Cornish Sunshine by Andrew Tozer

Cornish sunshine beams forth from this new collection of Andrew Tozers paintings.
Silvery Sunshine, St Anthony Pines
420mm x 600mm, acrylic on board
£1,350

Its not the bright blue of Mediterranean skies or the azure of the sea surrounding some Greek archipelago that strike you but rather the soft haze of a Cornish summer.  Grey blue skies, lavender and teal seas with the limped reflections of deep blue green trees.
Helford Village, High Tide
430mm x 610mm, acrylic on board
£1,350
Andrew Tozer captures with astonishing fluidity all of our childhood summers.  It is almost as if he has a secret store of bottled atmosphere, the essence of summer, forever Cornwall.  Children play in rock pools,

or mess about in the shallows, trees dance in fresh summer breezes and boats sail across sparkling seas.
Across Falmouth Harbour from Flushing
560mm x 790mm, acrylic on board
£2,150
SOLD

This collection is bursting with light, life and movement, the paintings are a joy to look at, seemingly so simple and yet fascinatingly complex, with a perfect pallet of deliciously subtle colours.  I would be surprised if you didn't come away feeling invigorated and refreshed and very much looking forward to the summer in Cornwall.
