Quotes

I love the sea's sounds and the way it reflects the sky. The colours that shimmer across its surface are unbelievable. This, combined with the colour of the water over white sand, surprises me every time. John Dyer
My great love is my home county of Cornwall, I love to sit and watch people enjoying themselves on the beaches and in the harbour towns of Cornwall. John Dyer
John Dyer quote: "I want to paint big, bright, optimistic pictures of the place..."
I want to paint big, bright, optimistic pictures of the place I love. John Dyer
I have been surrounded by artists and paintings throughout my life. My father Ted Dyer is an artist, and from a very early age I have spent time painting and drawing. John Dyer
While I was at college studying design I decided to paint. I was also greatly inspired by the colours that I had seen on my travels in the Brazilian Rain forest. John Dyer
I studied for my degree in London and consequently ended up spending five years away from Cornwall. I deliberately moved away from the coast to experience a different way of life. John Dyer
John Dyer quote: "The majority of my work is from life. I spend most fine days..."
The majority of my work is from life. I spend most fine days from May to October painting outside. John Dyer
John Dyer quote: "My optimism for life carried through my work."
My optimism for life carried through my work. John Dyer
During the winter when the weather is too poor to work outside, I do use drawings and photographs, but I change my work so it is not just a time and place study. John Dyer
The most amazing thing to me about the sea is the tide. A harbour like St. Ives is totally transformed in a very short space of time by the arrival or departure of the sea. John Dyer
My father is a well known artist, Ted Dyer, who has been painting for many years. Our work is very different, but growing up surrounded by paintings, paints, easels and art books does have an effect. John Dyer
Painting is really good fun, I have always enjoyed it. As long as I paint what I want with the freedom that I enjoy, I never tire. John Dyer
I still take photographs for my own use, personal studies. I do not feel that I can fully express my views through the medium and this is why I have moved towards painting. John Dyer
St. Michaels Mount is a favourite place of mine; people will walk across to the Mount all day and assume they will be able to walk home. The spectacle of hundreds of people realising that the path they walked over on is disappearing under several feet of water is very amusing. John Dyer
I was told I was talented when I applied to Falmouth School of Art and that I should consider skipping the course and proceeding directly to degree level. John Dyer
