This Cornwall painting is a piece of original art painted with acrylic on canvas by Cornish artist John Dyer.

'Under the Light of the Silvery Moon, Godrevy' by John Dyer is a captivating nocturne that brings the beauty and romance of Cornwall’s Godrevy Lighthouse to life under a starlit sky. This 24 x 24-inch acrylic on canvas with gold and silver leaf invites viewers into a tranquil coastal moment in time, where the full moon (in silver leaf) casts its silvery glow over the sea, illuminating the lighthouse and surrounding waters.

Dyer’s rich blues and shimmering silvers create a serene yet vibrant atmosphere, with playful fishing boats dotting the bay and seabirds soaring above. In the foreground, a couple stands together, taking in the breathtaking view, surrounded by lush grasses and coastal flora painted in warm, complementary colours. The gentle waves and moonlit reflections add a dreamlike quality, enhancing the sense of peace and connection.

'Under the Light of the Silvery Moon, Godrevy' is a beautiful addition for collectors drawn to Cornwall’s coastline’s romance. This original painting captures the quiet magic of a moonlit night by the sea, combining Dyer’s joyful palette with a sense of tranquillity. A unique piece, it offers a glimpse into a timeless Cornish moment that celebrates the harmony of nature and human connection.
