About the Item

English Coastal Scene with Boats, Clam Waters, Sunlight & Peaceful Seaside Life by 20th Century Artist, Nancy Bailey (British, 1913–2012) Art measures 36 x 20 inches Frame measures 41 x 25 inches Signed, Vintage Original, Oil on Canvas This charming painting entitled 'Penpol Creek' captures the relaxed atmosphere of Cornwall’s scenic coastline, where boats rest gently by the shore, and figures interact casually, evoking the simple pleasures of seaside life. The artist has beautifully rendered the soft, dappled sunlight, giving the scene a warm, inviting glow. The tranquil blue waters and rolling green hills in the background create a sense of depth and serenity, transporting the viewer to the peaceful shores of Cornwall. Perfectly balanced with natural tones and exquisite detail, this piece would bring the essence of the English coast into any space, offering a daily escape to the calm beauty of Cornwall. Nancy Bailey was a British maritime painter. Her work is characterized by its focus on beachside landscapes of the Cornish countryside, replete with striking vistas, fauna, and water reflections. Born in 1913 in West-Country, England, Bailey began her artistic career with a burgeoning interest in photography, fostering a deep understand of the dynamics of light and nature she would much later translate into painting, beginning at age 50. Bailey's works are notable for her technique of using a palette knife to apply paint directly to canvas, creating airy, atmospheric landscapes with choppy, gestural forms. Bailey traveled throughout the globe to create her works, before her death in 2012.
