MATS Bootcamp June Assignment: Wall Art with a Nautical theme

Wall art ... AGAIN~!

I have not yet found a proper approach to handle wall art.  Fortunately, this time, it is not necessary to make any collage (I truly need a lot of effort to put and paste together the various papers, textures, objects, etc.).

I have not spared much time in the Mini (except the quick doodle), therefore, I do not have icons to assemble to make the final piece. 

The very original idea was to make "A ship in a bottle".  I was thinking to put a secret message / paper in a bottle, but then, when I saw my fellow Bootcampers are creating whales, jellyfishes, sailors, etc., I have decided to join them to have fun.

I do not want to set my scene up deep down in the ocean.  I think it will be romantic to put a couple (of cats) in a ship (in fact, it is only a wooden boat) under a clear, beautiful blue night sky.  Stars shine from over the top, the big moon as the backdrop.  It is a hot night in the mid-summer.  The night was originally quiet, but hey it is summer, it should be fun!  Fishes, jelly fishes, crabs, shrimps, and whales all come out to party!  I particularly love the jelly fishes' synchronized swimming :-) Even though it is mid-summer, it is COOL!  So, I have decided the title to be "Keep Cool in a Hot mid-Summer's Night".  Stay cool, however excited you are!

The very first quick doodle.
