Deck 11 is a beautiful open area with loads and loads of lounge chairs, swimming pools, hot tubs, sunshine, a beautiful view of the ocean and fun places to explore. It is great place for people to congregate, either during the day relaxing or splashing, and during the night for partying and dancing under the stars.
This sketch took place in the afternoon, it was such a beautiful day! I found myself a lounge chair and just looked around me, and there was the perfect model right next to me! She was just worn out, and totally relaxed. So many people just fall asleep in lounge chairs! I'm not one of them, I don't want to miss anything. This woman held her pose
long enough for me to sketch it, she did eventually move, but I was very happy with this sketch. I have to say that every day I got more excited, carrying my pad and pencils in my bag, always looking for my next subject! It really is a different way to look at the world, instead of just experiencing my cruise for what it was, I looked at it for the many opportunities I was presented with for creativity. When I thought about it, Shakespeare's quote: "All the world's a stage" popped into my head. For whatever he meant with this statement, for me it meant that my world is a stage with all of my art models and stage setups everywhere I look. It is just wonderful to realized I don't have to go to far to find amazing beauty to use for creativity, I just have to look around me!
Of course, I have my picture of me sketching, showing my reference. Please notice my beautiful dress I bought at an open market, tables set up with locals selling their unique things. We were at the Island of St Croix, but this dress was handmade in St Thomas. I love it! Yes, there is more! Keep reading!
