Roses and Castles


Our thoughts have turned to the final appearance of Syncopation. Initial thoughts are that the colourscheme will be redolent of the later Fellows Morton and Clayton livery (more later), with a light dusting of roses and castles inside, probably restricted to the interior of of the back doors and hatches. To this end I've been researching narrowboat decoration. Warrior Woman has made a post showing some of her roses and I've got copies of Tony Lewery's excellent books:
Flowers Afloat

Narrowboat Painting

and with Edward Paget-Tomlinson : Colours of the Cut
