About the Item

"Gentle Waters" by Lenny Cornforth is a mesmerizing original seascape painting that captures the serene beauty of a Cornish beach. Executed with oil on canvas, Cornforth's contemporary impressionistic style infuses this piece with a sense of tranquility and harmony. At the heart of the painting lies an aerial view of a Cornish beach, where gentle ocean waves lap softly against the pristine white sand. Colorful beach parasols dot the shoreline, their vibrant hues adding a splash of color to the tranquil scene. Figures can be seen lounging on colorful beach blankets, basking in the warmth of the sun. Surfers ride the gentle waves, their silhouettes adding a sense of movement and energy to the composition. Rocks scattered along the beach lend texture and depth to the scene, grounding the viewer in the natural beauty of the coastal landscape. The color scheme of the painting is dominated by soothing shades of blue, evoking the calm expanse of the ocean and the endless sky above. Earthy tones of sand and rocks provide a sense of warmth and grounding, creating a harmonious balance within the composition. "Gentle Waters" is framed and signed by the artist, ready to be displayed and admired in any space. It is a testament to Cornforth's skill and vision, offering viewers a moment of peaceful reflection amidst the timeless beauty of the Cornish coast. For those enchanted by its tranquility, "Gentle Waters" is available for purchase at Signet Contemporary Art in Chelsea, as well as online, providing art enthusiasts with the opportunity to bring a touch of coastal serenity into their homes. Artist biography: Endlessly enthralled by the Atlantic ocean, Lenny Cornforth takes inspiration from the northern coast of Cornwall, using layers of translucent colour and texture to construct vibrant and emotional paintings evoking the joyful colours of the beaches around her. A keen sailor and surfer, Lenny draws on her own experiences on the Northern coast of Cornwall to inform her compositions. Tiny figures across each painting, whether they are surfing, sailing or sunbathing hold an intriguing narrative within each piece. Evoking memories of long sunny days by the sea, exploring coastal paths and stretching out on the golden sand. After graduating from Newcastle University with a degree in Fine Art, Lenny has exhibited widely in the UK including The Crypt Gallery in St.Ives, Oxford Castle, Edinburgh Art Fair, Waterperry Gardens and the Scin Gallery in London. However she has always been drawn back to Cornwall, where she currently lives near Bodmin with her husband and son, two dogs and dorset sheep. “A visual explosion of colour, shape and texture, each piece an experiment into her love of colour theory” – The Newbury Weekly News “Creating large scale abstract seascapes, Lenny Cornforth’s work is inspired by the wild Atlantic ocean, a passion for sailing and a keen eye for colour… dreamy seascapes inspired by the coastline of North Cornwall” – Coast Magazine 2021
