Absolutely thrilled with our second painting by John Dyer, Magical Colours by the Sea Tresco Abbey Gardens, from your Christmas exhibition in St Ives. Such a treat to have it delivered personally by John. Thank you for what you do Mark and Kara

Excellent handling and delivery of the purchase of the beautiful painting by Joanne Short we obtained from the John Dyer Gallery, which cannot be faulted in any way.

John and Joanne were so welcoming and happy and this was reflected in the works of art they produce and display in their gallery. This isn’t a gallery where you will be pressurised to buy anything; the joy of meeting people enjoying their work makes them happy. We re re-visited and purchased a fantastic painting that now takes pride of place in our home. I can only recommend that you visit if you want to leave joyful, inspired with a sense of happiness.

The online gallery is very easy to access and use. Browsing the latest pictures from both John and Joanne, and reading John's blog is a pleasure. It can also become a little addictive, as I now have a small (growing) collection of their paintings.

Stripy Swimmers. I am thrilled with my Joanne Short Painting. The colours are joyful and vibrant; the tropical fish swimming in the aquarium allows for a wonderful rainbow of the colour spectrum and is very uplifting. The quality of the frame really enhances the painting. I have given it pride of place in my sitting room. It was very robustly packaged and delivered efficiently. I will definitely buy from the gallery again in future. Thank you to Joanne for a glorious picture and to John for advising and arranging everything, making it a pleasurable experience.

I don't buy art without seeing it in person. But I saw a painting of John Dyer online and was spellbound by it. I had to have it. Everyone who has seen it also loves it. I can look at it all day, it gives me such joy. It is hanging in a place of honor. I was concerned about the shipping since it needed to travel all the way from the UK to Connecticut! What a fantastic job wrapping! It arrived in perfect condition. I highly recommend using the John Dyer Gallery.

We love John's paintings of Cornwall; so evocative of the County at every time of year. We have a collection of his originals, and have for the last few years bought the calendars(one for us and one for Canadian friends who live in Cornwall Ontario) Buying online is very simple and the paintings arrive by courier in perfect order.
