A New Beginning for Hunters Moon

Sid and Jenny are sitting here tonight on the new Hunters Moon talking about the experience of painting her and remarking on how the signwritter, Jon Leeson has put our personality onto Hunters Moon. To say we are delighted is an understatement.  There were tears of joy when we saw the wonderful art work Jon had created for us from the original sketches that our friend Sara had designed for us.


The whole panel


We have had two days of wonderment watching the first brushstrokes evolve into a thing of beauty.  What a talent!


Stunning!

Complete!

The folk at Springwood Haven enabled us, through their encouragement and practical help to achieve a very well painted boat with beautiful artwork.  We are truly grateful to all concerned.

    What an achievement you two! And you found an absolute talent in Jon. His seemingly effortless brush strokes make for a perfect work of art - one which HM deserves and her owners of course! Well done and I am not surprised you were emotional. xx

    Beautiful boat - and thanks a million for your brilliant rescue upstream of Eynsham today. Enjoy the rest of your cruise. Greetings from Bente and Erik, Lady Louise.
