North Atlantic Ocean & Celtic Sea
Featured Products
Original art inspired by our beautiful Devon and Cornwall coastline,
from land to the sea.
Cockle, Sting Winkle and Periwinkle Shells on the incoming tide of shifting and changing sands from ebb and flow. A walk along the shoreline as the tide is lapping at your feet, reveals here and there some lovely finds. Shimmers of gold and copper add natural glamour hinting to earths ancient metal elements, coordinating with a lush seaweed green background.
Each shell is drawn in fine black pen, the canvas is painted and sprayed with professional acrylic paint.
The canvas is unframed and ready to hang with picture wire, but framing is recommended for ultimate professional effect.
Canvas 5” x 7” inches, 13cm x 17.5cm
Original artwork painted Nov 2025
A collection of 9 lovely, shapely shells discovered on local beaches, in a frame of 3 apertures. These are painted with brush and black ink, a medium and image style Johanna has used since university degree days when studying textile design and fine art.
This art piece will suit almost any interior as the black and white monochrome style naturally fits in. It is timeless and versatile. The frame is included in the price, but equally would look fabulous in a white or natural wood colour frame.
Original artwork painted in black ink.

A grey sky day but fairly warm out, ‘R O W’ is tethered up just off the Appledore Quayside.
I sit on the bench admiring the view, as I have my art materials in my bag for impromptu moments of inspiration, I start drawing and painting the lovely boat in front of me, there’s a live figurehead enjoying some personal space, an adult Seagull. I imagine she is posing for me to paint her portrait - “Aye Aye captain, all is in order”.
R O W is initialled on the side of the boat and I can’t help humming “Row Row Row your boat, gently down the stream, merrily merrily merrily merrily life is but a dream”.
There is also The Blackadder Goes Forth version……
This scene is painted in watercolour, gouache and fine pen on paper, fixed to mount card.
12” x 8” - 30cm x 20.5cm and is currently unframed. Easy to post.

Finding shell’s on the beach are like finding jewell’s to me, each has a distinctive and cleverly made shape. I study them so closely and love to draw them.
This is an original art work, the shell is hand drawn with fine pen, laid onto a gold leaf circle with a black canvas background which gives an instantly chic, classical and stylish feel. This beauty will look good in a traditional or contemporary interior design scheme.
As you move around the room the canvas shimmers in different light, day to night. The gold glows sensationally and adds tasteful, gentle glamour. We can all do with some of that!

Celtic Sea Whitewater
A perfect sunny day with an effervescent, incoming tide, waves peaking and rolling over turning into whitewater. The Celtic Sea holds a mesmerising stance along the North Devon & North Cornish coast, I love to watch waves for endless time.
The composition is captured on a round canvas, I felt the curved edge reflected the repetitive shapes that waves form, as well as the feeling of peering through a porthole, so your gaze focuses within a hypnotising circumference.
Acrylic on canvas (unframed)
Round 40cm diameter
Picture wire is fitted on the back ready for hanging, I recommend the canvas would be greatly enhanced in a deep mounted, square, simple box frame. An additional price can be quoted for if it is of interest.
