Digital artwork based on freely available digitized black and white photo of Normandie in New York.

From Wikipedia:

The SS Normandie was a French ocean liner built in Saint-Nazaire, France, for the French Line Compagnie Générale Transatlantique (CGT). She entered service in 1935 as the largest and fastest passenger ship afloat, crossing the Atlantic in a record 4.14 days, and remains the most powerful steam turbo-electric-propelled passenger ship ever built.

During the Second World War, Normandie was seized by U.S. authorities at New York and renamed USS Lafayette. In 1942, the liner caught fire while being converted to a troopship, capsized onto her port side and came to rest on the mud of the Hudson River at Pier 88, the site of the current New York Passenger Ship Terminal. Although salvaged at great expense, restoration was deemed too costly and she was scrapped in October 1946.

Artist? I don't know I can justify calling myself an artist, as I know some artists and we are not in the same category. I think I'll settle on being a creator, and being curious, dabbling with anything from photography and photo editing to colorizations of old black and white photos and AI/photoshop compositing.
