Ready To Sail (Padstow Harbour)

Size:36 x 28 in.

Andrew Tozer’s Ready to Sail (Padstow Harbour), measuring 32" x 24", captures the vibrant charm of a bustling Cornish harbour. The painting depicts sunlit boats bobbing gently on shimmering waters, while families and sailors prepare on the quayside, immersed in the lively atmosphere of Padstow. Tozer’s masterful brushwork and vivid use of colour evoke a sense of joy and tranquillity, making this a celebration of Cornwall’s maritime beauty.

Renowned as one of Cornwall’s most distinguished landscape painters, Andrew Tozer paints ‘en plein air’, working outdoors to immerse himself fully in the environment he portrays. This approach allows him to encapsulate the essence of each scene, from serene harbours to windswept shores. Tozer studied art at the University of Westminster and Central St. Martin’s, honing his skills before returning to Cornwall in 1998, where his career flourished with a series of sell-out exhibitions.

Tozer describes his work as a personal diary, documenting meaningful moments and places. His collectors include acclaimed author Rosamunde Pilcher, and his pieces are part of the Falmouth Art Gallery’s permanent collection. Exhibited internationally, Tozer’s paintings continue to capture the beauty and emotion of Cornwall, resonating with audiences worldwide.
