John Dyer’s ‘Picking the Agapanthus, Mount’s Bay’ is a vivid celebration of one of Cornwall’s most spectacular coastal views, looking across a field of agapanthus towards St Michael’s Mount. The painting captures the brilliant colour and atmosphere of high summer, when the blue flowers are grown in abundance and picked for sale, creating a scene that is both beautiful and rooted in Cornish life.

In the foreground, figures move through the rich blue and green planting, gathering agapanthus beneath the wide Cornish sky. A Scottie dog, a sausage dog, gulls and lively garden birds add character and movement to the scene, while the palms, daisies and subtropical planting give the field a joyful coastal garden feeling. Beyond the flowers, Mount’s Bay opens out in bands of turquoise and deep blue, scattered with sailing boats, red sails and seabirds, leading the eye to the iconic island form of St Michael’s Mount.

This framed and mounted open-edition print brings together many of the elements that make John Dyer one of Cornwall’s best-loved artists: colour, nature, working landscape, coastal life and a deep affection for Cornwall’s most treasured places. The quality mount and frame give the print a clean, contemporary presentation, allowing the blues of the agapanthus and the sea to sing beautifully in a home interior.

A perfect print for collectors who love St Michael’s Mount, Mount’s Bay, Cornish flower fields, coastal gardens and uplifting contemporary Cornish art.
