Yes...a great idea for a holiday! I love that front view with the wake...so well done! I want to let you know how much I've enjoyed seeing your beautiful, masterful art this year...I've learned a lot just observing your techniques, and I've been very inspired. I'm looking forward to more in the new year. I want to wish you a very Happy and Healthy New Year:>

it's beautiful. that blue is soooo vivid, and the lines of the ship are deliciously rich.

Think you have to be deliciously rich to be on one of those! It's just as delicious imagining through your artwork :)

This is extremely powerful. It almost has a dark and forboding feeling... is there an iceberg in its future?

This is beautiful. I would love to see a larger image of it.

Nice illio and good for the theme. You know, I've only been on one cruise in my life - the Star Virgo to Phuket - and didn't enjoy it. While I love the ocean, I think I'm not a 'cruise' person. LOL!

Happy New Year...and may all your dreams come true!

Thanks Carla. I'm happy that you found them enjoyable. Thanks again! I am still learning. I guess the great diversity of styles of everyone involved is something to behold? Happy New Year!

Thanks Jaimie, the original image is actually barely bigger than this. I guess I lack the energy to compose larger pieces these days. I will endeavour to put up larger ones in time.

Indigo, thanks. I have been on the old Rasa Sayang liner to Penang about thirty years ago before it sank in a fire some years ago. I have also been on the Royal Viking Star once. It's been too long! I think I am not a cruise person either. Happy New Year!

Thanks Ginger! An iceberg would be horrifying! Nooo!

Thank you Valgalart! It's not original as it is inspired from a poster from the 20s.

Thanks Vfm4.

Anonymous, thank you.

Catnapping, ships are definitely an interesting theme. I guessed I have chosen a stylised image?
