Inspiration Everywhere

Another reason to get up and get creative

The Holland America ship Rotterdam was filled with artwork from paintings of tulips, sea souvenirs and sculptures in every nook. All tastefully decorated.

I had to walk every stairway and look around every corner so I didn't miss a thing.

I'm a very early riser and often I'd be the only person up in the wee hours. We had 5 different time zone changes and I wasn't going to let a clock tell me what to do.

It gave me the opportunity to pull up a chair anywhere in front of a sculpture and draw to my hearts content.

I don't consider myself a cruise lover but it was very rewarding and comfortable to move about ship and discover areas of creativity.
