Gylly Beach – painting

Artist Tracy McKenna brings the beauty of Gylly Beach (also known as Gyllynvase Beach) near Falmouth, Cornwall to life in her painting simply titled "Gylly Beach".

Full of sandy rock pools to explore with the most beautiful gently sloping sands I just had to capture it says Tracy, the light on this quiet autumn day was just so amazing with the fresh Atlantic waves hitting the shore.

Gylly beach is one of the largest and most beloved beaches in the area, making it a popular destination for families.

Born in Cyprus, Tracy grew up in a northern mill town on the edge of the Pennines. She studied Art and Design at Nelson and Colne College and then moved on to the Arts University at Bournemouth where she graduated with a BA (Hons) and a High Commendation from the RSA. 

Since then she has qualified as a teacher of Art and Design.

Inspiration is never far away as she recently moved to Penryn in Cornwall to be closer to the sea, one of her favourite subjects to paint, and now has a new purpose studio in which to work.

This original work is painted in acrylic on canvas board and comes in a simple white wash finished wooden floating tray frame without glass, ready to be displayed.
