A black chest is painted with a red & white chain border and red yellow and white canal roses. There are some pots of paint in shot on the bottom right and a messy weedy garden in the background is
A black chest with canal roses in the middle of all sides and a red and white chain border is front of the shot. A sofa with colourful blankets is behind. In the background is a maximalist home with books and trinkets on shelves and fireplace
Spent my weekend painting this. Sanded, primed & gloss painted a pine chest from a charity shop & then decorated with canal style roses. About 6 months in the planning, feels good to have 'done the thing'

A close-up shot of two highly decorative, hand-painted metal buckets on the deck of a canal boat. The buckets are adorned with vibrant floral patterns in the traditional narrowboat style. The side of the boat is visible below, featuring a bold red color and white script lettering that reads, "Registered at Oldbury No 50701." A decorated boat pole and rigging are also in the frame. The background is softly blurred, showing other boats and foliage, characteristic of London's Little Venice.
Barge and buckets
