Title: Sea Cruise

Size: 9 x 12 inches

Medium: Colored pencil on blue colored paper

"Sea Cruise" offers a serene and expansive view of the ocean from the vantage point of a ship's bow. The colored pencils have been masterfully applied to blue paper, creating a vivid, deep blue sea that extends towards the horizon. Above this vast stretch of water, the sky is a lighter blue, delicately adorned with soft, wispy clouds, adding to the overall peaceful ambiance.

At the bottom center of the artwork, the ship's bow serves as a focal point, guiding the viewer's gaze into the open water and evoking a sense of depth and tranquility. The careful use of blue tones and gentle, flowing lines together convey an infinite, calming marine landscape.

This piece was inspired by the idea of bringing a cruise experience into everyday life. For those who can't take a cruise, this work invites you to hang it in your bathroom or hot tub area to evoke a mini-vacation, a momentary escape into the serene vastness of the ocean. Based on a photo provided by Peter Brooks Rathsack and part of the "Peter Brooks Collection," this artwork captures both the beauty and the tranquility of the open sea, offering viewers a chance to dream and unwind.
