Scenes of the Cornish Coast: A series of paintings of West Country seascapes by the distinguished marine artist Roy Cross RSMA

Roy Cross has for 35 years been well known, both in Europe and the U.S.A.,for his exceptional renderings of the sea - as foregrounds to his fine marine paintings of historical ships, ports and events from the Age of Sail.
