Well here it is. I thought I’d have a lot of trouble with the name, but Kath suggested I try lower case and so I had a bash on a practice board and found it quite easy. I suppose it didn’t take any more than five or six minutes when I did it for real on the can.
The bottom row of roses on the other hand were a pig. I couldn’t seem to get the colours or the paint consistency right, particularly the latter. It’s a good job you can’t see the finished job too close ‘cos it doesn’t bear close scrutiny. I think it’ll look OK on the boat though. Now I understand I have to varnish over the decoration and I’m reading up on varnishes.

It looks great - a really good mix of tradition, with a modern colour scheme. Next time I see you, we can talk about painting Briar Rose on my can!
Brilliant, lower case works better
I guess you will be on your next item very shortly

Your roses look superb.
Looking really good Neil. I would be proud of those roses. Some decoration of the spout would look good and some diagonal multi coloured stripes on the base. Keep up the good work - it gets easier the more you practise. I checkout other peoples work and blag their ideas.
Craftmaster varnish. No contest.
