Step into a scene of pure summer delight with John Dyer’s ‘Happy Holidays, Fowey’ – a vibrant tribute to the carefree charm of Cornish holidays by the sea. In this joyful open edition print, Dyer captures the bustling heart of Fowey in full celebration, brimming with colour, life, and local character.

The harbour is alive with activity: boats decorated with bunting glide through turquoise waters, swimmers splash joyfully, and seagulls soar overhead. Figures in bold, playful outfits fill the quayside – waving, chatting, exploring, and enjoying every moment. The iconic buildings of Fowey, painted in warm ochres, soft pinks, and sunlit coral, rise up behind the harbour, with palm trees and fluttering flags adding to the festive spirit.

Rendered in John Dyer’s unmistakable style, the scene bursts with movement and colour. Every element – from the dogs and cats along the quay to the diving children and bobbing boats – contributes to a sense of happiness and community. It’s a work filled with narrative and energy, capturing all the excitement of a Cornish summer.

As an unframed print, this artwork gives you the freedom to select your own frame locally, making it easy to match the piece to your space and style. It’s also available in a wider range of sizes, giving you more flexibility in how and where you display it.

A perfect choice for those who know and love Fowey, or anyone who wants to bring the colour, joy, and rhythm of the coast into their home.
