Step into the sun-drenched charm of Cadaqués, a breathtaking seaside town on Spain’s Costa Brava, in this stunning artwork by Donna Flowers Dorning. Capturing the essence of a perfect summer escape, the painting showcases the town’s iconic whitewashed buildings and terracotta rooftops bathed in Mediterranean light, with the deep blue sea gently lapping against the shore.
In the foreground, a vibrant mosaic table is set for a leisurely meal, featuring Catalan delicacies, freshly grilled sardines, pan con tomate, and a glass of chilled rosé, inviting you to savour the simple pleasures of coastal life. A portrait of Gala, muse and love of Salvador Dalí, pays homage to the surrealist master’s deep connection to Cadaqués, adding an artistic and historical touch to the scene.
Part of the exclusive "Summer Holidays" collection, this 1,000-piece jigsaw puzzle offers a joyful challenge, transporting puzzlers to the heart of the Mediterranean with every piece.
About The Artist
A lifelong creative, Donna Flowers-Dorning studied Art at college and went on to study Fashion at UCLAN in Preston. While she has always painted for pleasure, it was during lockdown that she developed her 'Still Life' series, drawing inspiration from patterns, plants, books, nostalgic food and drink, views, and artwork. Each piece is carefully composed to spark joy and evoke a sense of warmth and familiarity.
Donna's work is known for its vibrant detail, often incorporating text and pattern to create rich, expressive compositions. Her art is currently exhibited at Heart Gallery in Hebden Bridge, Sweet Magnolias in Hay-on-Wye, and Still Life in Ulverston. For Donna, creativity is a source of relaxation and joy—something that shines through in every piece she creates.
