the early bird catches the artist

As soon as the sun rises during the summer, Im generally up and out to look for something to shoot. We have some great natural down here in Cornwall and first thing in the morning you can capture some great stuff. What I didn't expect to capture that morning was Alan Furneaux, a local artist sitting dock side in painting away

I seem to be making a bit of a habit of this. Some time back I happened to come across another artist further up the road painting a similar scene. That turned out to be Ken Howard. Anyhow, I started chatting to Alan and it turned out he knows Ken really well. Small world.

I did ask Alans permission to grab a few shots whilst he was painting away. I have a connection with real and vivid colours, and watching Alan laying down colour was a treat.
 

A big thanks to Alan for allowing me to shoot away - You can find out a little more of Alans work on line here - www.alanfurneaux.com
