Spent today trying to figure out how to upload a new flash movie for the website www.alanfurneaux.com. It just needs a little adjustment an it should be ready. Also spent time doing the Thames in mud green. Not working as well as I would like but will perspire some more.

went slightly bonkers today and done this of of Antibes. Once I had started I just had to finish although it`s very rough.

Westminster Bridge with Big Ben. acrylic on canvas 70x70cm

This is the view from our lounge .Its coming along nicely. Started work on the Trafalgar Sq painting. early days yet,

A good friend of mine Colin Ruffell a successful self publishing artist. www.crabfish.com has told me many times that the only way to make a good living from art is to spend as much time publicising and doing the promotion stuff as you do at the easel. I do tend to spend more time painting but this week I have spent the whole time working on my website building and refining it. So, sorry no paintings. Their are two projects that are in the pipeline tho. David Curzon Gallery in London want some of my Naive style paintings and I am doing a large one for our local church which I am very excited about. Imagine that . How can I do a painting for the Church....???How can I consider the people viewing it with all there different ideas...Should i not bother to please anyone. What themes do I do..How shall I build it... why do I want to do it I wont get paid for it,well I know the answer to that ??? what Have i got to say???
Also as you can see the extension is coming along.They seem to have a plan!

Ok I think I have finished this now. I`d like to move on as this has been a bit repetitive for me.

Hi Mum. This is Steve and John working on the extention .

Day 3. Lets see if I can finish in Day 4.Its so hot in my studio I am wilting and becoming disorientated.

This is a view from Padstow over to Rock with the ferries tooing and frowing on a glorious summer day.Its a little cutesy I know and I had to push myself to continue because a little voice was saying no and then the other little voice said experiment and finish .Which is what I did.

Footings are in and the walls are taking shape.

And here it is now finished off the detail. Emm! I like it...

I had a session last night after the football and came out with a picture of London Embankment again. I`m going to be working on the detail tomorrow and try and finish it off.

Calella de Palafrugel. 70x80cm acrylic on canvas

Went over the last Mousehole and produced this one of Calella. It just didn`t do it for me. The painting looked too `placed ` and without excitement. I`ll finish this off in the morning .
