Narrow boat , and Thank-you Card

At the top of the Illustration Style image, We look forward to welcoming you to our new home

A hand-drawn, funny scene of a cozy narrowboat moored on a calm canal at golden hour. Fine, expressive linework with textured brush strokes and visible paper grain; a warm palette of teal, brick red, mustard, moss green, and peachy sky. The narrowboat sits center stage with bunting strung from bow to stern, potted herbs and flowers along the roof, and a tiny chimney puffing a friendly curl of smoke. A short gangplank meets the towpath where a coiled rope-doormat awaits. Two cheeky ducks form a “welcoming committee”: one in a tiny captain’s hat, the other presenting daisies; playful, cartoony expressions. Through round portholes, glimpses of a snug interior: a steaming kettle and a curious cat in a little lifejacket. A stone canal bridge and reeds frame the background; water reflects the boat and bunting in rippled, painterly strokes. Balanced composition with soft shadows, subtle ink hatching, and watercolor-like washes. Top text is hand-lettered in a friendly, bold script with dark ink and a warm off-white outline for legibility. Add one small extra caption integrated into the scene: hand-lettered on a little wooden sign leaning against the mooring bollard, reading: “Thanks a canal lot!” Keep all other elements text-free.
