I need some help from a proficient Cornish language speaker please! I paint landscapes & when my work is based on my homeland I always use the Cornish language as titles. The trouble is I don't speak it. Literal translations from English don't always work poetically so a little conversation 1/2

Just came across this painting from summer last year. Wasn't keen on it at the time but looking through some bits it stood out to me today. #watercolour #landscape #memory #abstract #art #industry

"I fear those big words, Stephen said, which make us so unhappy." -- James Joyce, Ulysses #BookSky #Photography Eric Drigny

Don’t forget to take care of yourself. Don’t forget to rest. Don’t forget to read 1,000 books. Don’t forget to dream. Don’t forget to let the forest sink into your bones, and become one with the mossy darkness.

Coal miner, 1934, Robert Capa You load 16 tons, what do you get? Another day older and deeper in debt St. Peter, don't you call me 'cause I can't go I owe my soul to the company store -- Tennessee Ernie Ford, from the song Sixteen Tons

Some more of my own favourites of my paintings

When I'm not building websites one of my favourite things I do is designing The Dartmoor Collective books and zines. I'm *really* proud of 'Flow'. If you love art / photography / landscapes / poetry and want to support Dartmoor artists, please grab a copy from dartmoorcollective.org/product/flow...

A haze rested on the low shores that ran out to sea in vanishing flatness. The air was dark above Gravesend, and farther back still seemed condensed into a mournful gloom, brooding motionless over the biggest, and the greatest, town on earth. ― Joseph Conrad, Heart of Darkness, chapter one, London

We're delighted to announce the publication of our new zine, Flow. It's by far our best and biggest publication yet, featuring 60 pages of work from 35 Dartmoor visual artists exploring the theme of flow across a diversity of styles and mediums, interweaved with the words of writer, Kirsteen McNish.

I'm getting a bit worried about the golf 😬

I bloody love this account. Never fails to make me smile ❤️

“A fire broke out backstage in a theatre. The clown came out to warn the public; they thought it was a joke and applauded. He repeated it; the acclaim was even greater. I think that’s just how the world will come to an end: to general applause from wits who believe it’s a joke.” —Soren Kierkegaard

Leonard Cohen by Graeme Mitchell Los Angeles, September 2016 - two months before his death "I’ve got some work to do,” he said to his son Adam near the end. "Take care of business. I am ready to die. I hope it’s not too uncomfortable. That’s about it for me."

It's nearing end of season in Cornwall, and I'm very much minded of @raynewman.bsky.social's Second Homes short story in Intervals of Darkness... If you've not read it, you really should...

On this date in 1893, seven men were killed at Dolcoath Mine. The photographer J C Burrow had taken an image of 493 fathom, where the disaster occurred, months before it happened. Read on… the-cornish-historian.com/2022/08/28/t... #Cornwall #Kernow #Cornish #Kernow/Cornwall

I've been feeling low recently. My Art Group's first evening talk of the year was this evening. Watercolour painting. Not my medium but I'm so glad I went. Feeling better & invigorated! Whatever your interest or passion, I highly recommend joining a local group, it may surprise you in the best ways.

A wonderfully evocative short film here from our friend @notquitelight.bsky.social, inspired by a recent #Dartmoor walk with @dpadartmoor.bsky.social. notquitelight.com/dartmoor-a-w...

In the end, don't we all want the same thing? To be with someone who makes us feel safe and loved? Someone who bakes great bread in a crumbling seaside castle filled with indifferent cats, inquisitive ghosts, and secret libraries hidden inside libraries?
