Onionman Posted November 29, 2018 Report Share Posted November 29, 2018 (edited) The current Mrs Onionman made this faux 1920's travel style poster for me from our last holiday.

Tumshie Posted November 29, 2018 Report Share Posted November 29, 2018 It looks like Mrs Onionman took one of their holiday snaps and applied some artistic filters and colours and then somehow gave it that rather swanky sepia framing. I think it would make a nice piccy to convert into an embroidery / tapestry pattern. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark99 Posted November 30, 2018 Report Share Posted November 30, 2018 (edited) Think it's an adapted image (and good result). An artist would prob leave out the humdrum bits (scew-wiff button fender and nav lights/spotlamp). Edited November 30, 2018 by mark99 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Athy Posted November 30, 2018 Report Share Posted November 30, 2018 If one made allowances for the obviously modern boat, it would look good on the wall of a Great Western Railway carriage compartment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onionman Posted November 30, 2018 Author Report Share Posted November 30, 2018 (edited) Glad you like it - I do! Mrs Onionman is a graphic designer. She took the pic and did an astounding amount of work in photoshop to get it to look right. She's a huge fan of the old railway posters, you know the kind.

Athy Posted November 30, 2018 Report Share Posted November 30, 2018 Perhaps my favourite - not least because it depicts my favourite steam railway as it was (or as the artist saw it) in, I think, the 1930s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Machpoint005 Posted November 30, 2018 Report Share Posted November 30, 2018 Is it me, or is the boat a bit small for the bridge (or arsy-versy)? I don't know the K&A at all, but perhaps I'm just too accustomed to narrow canals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Onionman Posted November 30, 2018 Author Report Share Posted November 30, 2018 It's a recoloured photo so the proportions are unchanged from reality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for confirming - no offence intended, and it is a good picture regardless. I need to spend more time on wide canals. (Actually I need to spend more time on ANY canal!)
