“Happy New Year”
in Cornish.
A December 2025 image of the Cornish landscape,
showing its rugged beauty and, in the distance,
the iconic, haunting, sinister, Dartmoor !!!
One wonders whether the intrepid Dr. Watson and
Sherlock Holmes are still wandering around Dartmoor, ignorant of the danger following them in the shape of
“The Hound of The Baskervilles”, which, according to Sir Arthur Ignatius Conan Doyle, inhabited Dartmoor !!!

Still retaining their traditional character, the villages of Kingsand and Cawsand, in Cornwall, situated on the Rame Peninsula, are popular with tourists. They are untouched by time with a fascinating smuggling and fishing past.

Walter Langley (8 June 1852 – 21 March 1922) was an English Painter and Founder of the Newlyn School (Cornwall) of “Plein Air” Artists.
In 1884, Langley was elected a Member of the RBSA and continued to exhibit widely throughout the U.K, and abroad. Later in his career, his reputation grew.
One of Langley’s paintings was singled out as “a beautiful and true work of art” by Leo Tolstoy, in his book “What is Art ?”, while, in 1895, Langley was invited by The Uffizi to contribute a self-portrait to hang alongside those of Raphael, Rubens and Rembrandt in their collection of portraits of great artists.
