The Fal River, Falmouth, Cornwall
The Fal River is where the Atlantic tide meets the deep, wooded valleys of Cornwall. This study, 'The Fal', moves past the literal to capture the raw movement of Falmouth’s waterways. It is a dialogue of deep navy, slate, and ethereal whites.
The work explores the energy of the river’s currents. Broad strokes and fine, etched lines mirror the navigation of the Carrick Roads, the pull of the tide and the shifting light over the channel. It is an immersive piece that draws you into the atmospheric mood of the water.
This abstract brings the Cornish maritime soul into a contemporary home. While a traditional photo shows the view, this work makes you feel the wind and the river. It’s a focal point for any space that values texture, serving as a daily window to the wild, restorative clarity of the coast.
