Lovely Amelia,eddie,xx

Nothing quite like barge decorations x

The patterns are wonderful especially set against the landscape.

They are lovely. Many years ago we had a bargeware shop in Wincanton. Needless to say that without a canal, it did not last very long. The lady who did all the painting also painted the designs on our bridge over the River Cale, but that eventually faded and is now back to black again!

Looks like if it is on an old boat, shipping through old channels, right?

Colourful kettles in a beautiful landscape. Welcome to the group, Amelia!

A lovely way to capture them Amelia

sehr schöne Dekoration, Amelia!

What a great find..............these are really beautifully painted. A delightful image too.

Great tradition painting the hardware for these barges, A devilish thought passed through my mind here, "Good job Clint Eastwood wasn't around when you took this SHOT"

Wonderful jugs, so nice painted. Bargeware = Flussschiffer Ware?

Lovely shot of 'roses and castles' artwork. I tried my hand at it last year - easy to get the basics but tremendous skill to do it well!

My friends father used to paint the barges on The Kennett and Avon Canal

These are very pretty, the roses remind me a bit of tradional painted Norwegian furniture:-)
What are they used for, water?

Well taken and very colourful, Amelia.
