Reviews

Watergate Bay is my home from home, and nothing compares to surfing its turquoise, azure and green waves on a sunny day. I bumped into Naomi on the beach one day, photographing those exact breaks, and she agreed to paint my waves for me. I couldn't have imagined the painting would so realistically evoke the emotions I feel about the sea when I'm surfing. The translucence she draws out in the colours is unbelievable, she has an amazing talent. So happy, Watergate Bay Forever!

Original Coastal Art

Wave painting "Cornish Surf" by Naomi Jenkin

There’s something about the sea that stays with you. Sometimes it’s the stillness, the gentle rhythm of the waves, the glittering light stretching across the water bringing a sense of space and calm.

And other times, it’s the energy. Powerful waves rolling in, spray flying, a sense of drama and the feeling of standing on the edge of something vast and alive.

My seascape paintings are inspired by the Cornish coastline, capturing both sides of the ocean’s character. From quiet, reflective moments to more powerful, atmospheric scenes, each piece is created to bring that connection to the sea into your home.

Bringing The Beauty Of The Coast into Your Home

A seascape painting can shape the feeling of a space in different ways.

Gentle scenes such as the calm surface of the water with soft light reflections create a sense of calm, making a room feel lighter and more open. More dramatic pieces, like a stormy wave painting, can really inject energy into a space and give the room a dramatic centre piece.

Whether you’re drawn to something peaceful or something more powerful, the right painting often comes down to how you want the space to feel when you’re in it.

Larger paintings can become a focal point, drawing you into the scene, while smaller pieces offer a more subtle connection to the coastline.

ORIGINAL SEASCAPE PAINTINGS

"Serenity" - oil on canvas

Each original seascape painting is created entirely by hand, building up layers of oil paint to capture the movement, light and atmosphere of the scene.

Some pieces focus on stillness and space, while others explore the energy of the ocean - the powerful waves, the light shining through the water, and the myriad of ocean colours as the water changes moment to moment.

That variation is part of what makes each painting unique. No two moments on the coastline are ever the same, and each piece reflects that.

A Love of the Cornish Coast

Living in Cornwall, I’m constantly inspired by the coastline — not just by its beauty, but by its unpredictability.

From calm, glassy waters to powerful waves rolling into the beach, the sea is constantly changing. That contrast is at the heart of my work, and part of what draws me back to paint it time and time again. I love capturing some of Cornwall's most iconic beaches such as Fistral and Watergate, as well painting gorgeous close up breaking waves which are a permanent feature of Cornwall all year round.

Finding a Style That Feels Right

When choosing a seascape painting, you might find yourself drawn to a particular side of the ocean’s character.

Some people are naturally pulled towards calmer scenes with softer gentle movement, and a sense of stillness that brings a feeling of space and quiet into a room.

Others are drawn to something more dramatic, with powerful waves throwing spray, and the raw energy of the sea on full display. These pieces can add excitement, atmosphere and create a real focal point to a space.

Neither is right or wrong. It simply comes down to what resonates with you, and how you’d like the room to feel when you’re in it.

Often, the piece you keep coming back to is the one that’s right.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I choose the right seascape painting for my home?

Start by thinking about how you want the space to feel. Calmer pieces such as "Serenity" can create a sense of stillness and quiet reflection, while more dramatic paintings such as "Stormy Seas, Fistral" can add energy and give a feeling of living in the moment. Choosing a painting is often less about matching colours exactly, and more about choosing something that resonates with you.

What’s the difference between an original painting and a print?

An original painting is a one of a kind, unique artwork. Fine art prints are carefully produced reproductions of the original artwork, offering a more flexible and more affordable way to enjoy the piece while still capturing all the details and colours of the original. Prints are often available in different size options, and at a much lower price than the original painting, making them perfect for gifting.

Can I commission a painting of a specific beach in Cornwall?

Yes! I'm always delighted to create bespoke seascape paintings based on locations that are meaningful to my clients. I can create a piece that reflects both the place and the feeling it holds for you. You can discover more information on my seascape commissions page.

Are seascape paintings a good gift?

Absolutely! A painting can make a very thoughtful and personal gift, especially for someone who has a strong connection to the sea.

A seascape painting isn’t just something to hang on the wall - it can hold a memory of a place, a feeling, or a moment in time. It might remind someone of a favourite beach, a special trip, or simply the sense of calm they feel when they’re by the coast.

If you’re looking to make it even more personal, a commissioned seascape can be created from a place that means something to them, making it a truly unique and meaningful piece.
