Nanjizal Becalmed – Original Painting & Giclée Prints

The painting Nanjizal Becalmed is set on the magnificent coastline of Penwith, with its stacks of granite, deeply gouged  by the turquoise seas swirling below and interspaced with pristine sandy coves. Nanjizal is well known for its narrow keyhole arch that aligns with the afternoon sun to flood the archway’s cavern in light. The appearance of the cove changes as with the mood of the sea, sometimes more boulders than sand and vice versa but it’s always a beautiful sight to come across especially for walkers of the coastal path. This route pictured, is along the lengthy grass track which descends down from the road. On the day depicted it was unbelievably calm even in the afternoon. The ponies we met just reciprocated that air of peacefulness. Just the murmuring of the sea below.
