Windswept Love No.12 - Original Oil Painting
The sky deepens into rich purples and golds as the sun casts fiery beams across the Helford River. The water glimmers like liquid gold, winding gently through the valley and catching the last light of day.
This original oil painting, part of the Windswept Love Collection, captures the serene drama of a riverside sunset walk. Painted with luminous colours and bold contrasts, it makes a striking focal point - perfect above a mantel or on a feature wall - inviting you to pause, breathe, and immerse yourself in reflection and wonder.

Let customers speak for us
I have recently purchased this print and I am really thrilled with it. The colours are truly beautiful and the light captured on the water is stunning . This is the second print I have brought from Rachel and I have my eye on a third . Her prints bring a room to life.
Your print looks so good above the mantelpiece in my lounge. I have so enjoyed my visits to Cornwall since a child. Your paintings really stood out in form and colour.
The print has just arrived and my wife is thrilled with it as am I!! My wife, who also paints, was struck by the dramatic image and also was so impressed by the wonderful use of light and the depth of colour. Thank you so much.
I was drawn to this picture because of the light and the drama, it just feels like a morning that might turn into a storm or a scorcher. You never know in Cornwall.
Here is a picture of your painting at home, I’m a bit maximalist in my approach to home decorating so this is probably not showing it off to its best but I love it!
I have recently renovated my lounge and have been pondering for ages whether I needed a picture on the chimney breast. This one is just beautiful - I can sit and stare at it and lose myself!
It is just perfect. The room is very light and I love the way the sky appears to change as the light varies during the day and into the evening so that you keep noticing something different. I am sure I shall have many years of enjoyment with ‘Confidence’!
We’ve had the print framed, it looks great. Thought you’d like to see the finished product.
The print is stunning!! We love it. It is in our home office, we’ve hung the print in such a way that you see it when you walk upstairs. Visitors immediately comment on the stunning colours!
I really love the way you manage to capture sunlight in your paintings. It was what drew me to our lovely print 😍
My wife is fascinated by how people capture light in paintings. Rachel does this in an amazing way and is one of Danielle’s favourite artists so naturally when a milestone birthday came around I got in touch about a commission.
The whole process was really easy. We communicated first through Instagram, then by email and shared ideas for the painting, with helpful guidance and suggestions made to help the finished piece even better. The painting is perfect as we know we it would be and receives universal appreciation from everyone who sees it.
Rachel even made a lovely frame for us and packaged the painting up beautifully for its journey home. Danielle’s painting now hangs in pride of place in our lounge where we can now see one of our favourite sunset views anytime we like. Thank you, I suspect our first ‘Painter’ won’t be our last!
I am so happy to have come across Rachel's work online when looking to commission a painting of our engagement in Corfu. Every time I look at the piece it takes me back to that special moment, as she has captured the light and the emotion so well! Rachel was amazing throughout the process from reviewing my idea based on a collation of pictures from our engagement, quotation, initial sketch, first review then final tweaks. I would certainly recommend Rachel's work. Maybe I can have another in the future if I am lucky!
Can really recommend Rachel and her work. The painting arrived wonderfully packaged (and safely) and is also everything I hoped it would be. Her work in the flesh is stunning. We both love it! Thanks Rachel! 😍
As soon as I saw Rachel’s work online I immediately loved it. From the way she captures the colours in the sky, the sparkle of light on the sea and the atmosphere of the moment reminds me so much of why I love Cornwall.
Rachel is professional and very helpful, giving good advice and guidance when choosing a frame too! Our painting is just perfect and looks great in its new home.
We LOVE them!! And just as another affirmation, my friend got really emotional seeing the pictures and had tears in her eyes!
It’s arrived Rachel! Thanks so much, it’s makes me want to be back in Cornwall right now. It’s sitting here waiting for me to decide on where will be home.
