At the top of the Illustration Style image, “Happy Anniversary Howie” in warm hand-lettered script, gently arched and framed by a subtle garland of canal wildflowers.

A hand-drawn illustration with fine linework, textured brush strokes, balanced composition, and a warm, expressive color palette. Vertical scene at golden hour: a classic narrowboat moored on a calm canal, its forest-green hull with burgundy trim and soft brass highlights. On the roof, terracotta pots of thyme, rosemary, and geraniums; a relaxed tabby cat lounges between them, tail draped over a coiled rope, gazing at the water. On the towpath garden opposite, a glossy black spaniel sits amidst foxgloves, lavender, daisies, and roses, looking toward the boat with a gentle, adoring tilt of the head. The cottage-style garden spills toward the water, petals and leaves rendered with delicate ink lines and painterly washes. Soft reflections ripple below, with two faint heart-shaped highlights in the water for a tender touch. A pair of enamel mugs and a short string of bunting add quiet celebration. Warm peach sky, soft dappled light, calm and sincere atmosphere. Subtle paper grain visible; keep details refined and uncluttered.

At the bottom, on a small ribbon banner or subtly painted onto the boat’s hull in small friendly lettering: “Two hearts, one boat — forever afloat.”
