Nautical Paintings

Boats on the shore, sailing boats in the bay and Sunday afternoons by the harbour: these pictures bring the sea into your home. They are scenes full of light and colour that evoke coastal villages and unhurried summers.

Pair them with striped cushions, rope, natural fibres and shades of blue and white to reinforce the nautical feel. Hung as a pair above a chest of drawers or a bed, they look beautifully balanced. They are also a perfect way to freshen up an inland home with a memory of the coast.
