#cornishcoast

Going around the Cornish coast can often throw up some memorable sights, which as there is so much of it is hardly surprising. Here are some of the views that caught my attention recently. I hope you like them.

Fisherman's Friends (2019)

A cynical London music executive hears a singing group of ten Cornish fisherman while on a stag weekend and believes that they can achieve a top ten hit. The difficult part is convincing them he's right and getting them to sign up.

📝I missed this film when it came out (pre-covid era!)so now that there is a sequel out, I decided to check it out before I watched that. It's a really sweet, feel good, uplifting and charming film with beautiful Cornish scenery. It will make you want to pack your bags for a trip to Cornwall.

Definitely worth checking out. The movie will make you smile. It has that lovely British quirkiness about it.

Although our SeaDog.IT business is "digital" - fundamentally we're all about helping people do their “thing” online - whether that's sharing, selling, informing, engaging, educating - or, occasionally, entertaining.

Once in a while, all that "techie" stuff behind the scenes reminds but simultaneously energises us when we recall that all those pixels, programs, plugins & code can help showcase tangible, beautiful art. Sure, NFT's are a "thing" at the moment - but I don't think we will, or should, ever get tired of enjoying art in a physical space, - be that in a gallery, installation or (best place IMHO) a home.

So it was an immensely pleasurable experience to slip into the Heseltine Gallery in Truro a few weeks ago to view the work of @the5collectivecornwall - and especially our client - Maxine Whitbread-Abrutat.

As a Cornish artist living on the wild, North Atlantic coastline she’s been inspired from a young age by the beauty of the landscape around her. Check out her website and as she likes to quote: “To draw, you must close your eyes and sing’’ - Pablo Picasso.
