Stril Luna is the name of Simon M\u00f8kster Shipping\u00b4s new offshore vessel. It\u00b4s a beautiful supply-ship, about 80 meters long, with accommodation for about 25 people. I am very honored and happy to deliver the artwork for this ship.<\/p>\n

The ship was Christened a month ago, but is still not finished for another couple of weeks, so there are still bits and pieces not finished, as you can see in the photos below. But once it is all in place, it will be a true beauty!<\/p>\n

The ship will be working in the ocean outside the Northern part of Norway, partly in Arctic waters. Therefore the owners wanted the pictures onboard to have a theme of ice and snow. A lot of them have motifs from my visit to Svalbard in April.<\/p>\n

Well, it\u00b4s time to start our tour, and let\u00b4s start in the mess. This is where I\u00b4ve placed the \u201cfeature\u201d-picture.<\/p>\n

\"aurora\"<\/p>\n

\u201cAurora\u201d<\/em>, named after the Northern light. 120\u00d7180 cm<\/p>\n

This is snow from the outside and ice from the inside. Or to explain: one of the layers in this collage is of the ice-wall inside a glacier, 20 meters below the surface! This is what the picture looks like in the room.<\/p>\n

\"_MG_7299\"<\/p>\n

Aurora\u00b4s sister-picture is called<\/p>\n

\"Borealis2\"<\/p>\n

\u201cBorealis\u201d<\/em>, 60\u00d780 cm<\/p>\n

\"Bi-Polar\"<\/p>\n

\u201cBi-Polar\u201d<\/em>, 60\u00d790 cm<\/p>\n

I met this polar-bear in Svalbard. I have to admit, he was standing quite still in the museum. I don\u00b4t really have a secret dream of seeing these animals in person. That doesn\u00b4t mean I don\u00b4t find them grand!<\/p>\n

\"_MG_7348\"<\/p>\n

The mess is in many ways the most important room onboard. Everyone goes there at least 3 times a day, to eat, gain energy and be social. So soon this room will be filled with life!<\/p>\n

Next door to the mess is the day-lounge. This is the place to watch tv, talk or just relax.<\/p>\n

\"PuffinNuffin\"<\/p>\n

\u201cPuffin- Nuffin\u201d<\/em>, 60\u00d780 cm<\/p>\n

This is the first English word-play I remember from way back in the early 90s, and finally I could use it! \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

\"RaindeerRule\"<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Reindeer rules<\/em>\u201c, 60\u00d790 cm, printed on plexi-glas.<\/p>\n

The Arctic reindeers are not afraid of people, they only have one enemy, and that is the Polar-bear. So you can see them walking in the streets and in-between houses in Svalbard.<\/p>\n

\"_MG_7344\"<\/p>\n

The smaller picture of a bird is not mine, it was a gift from one of the suppliers.<\/p>\n

The next picture is yet another magical landscape-picture from Svalbard. If you ever have the chance to go there, don\u00b4t hesitate. It is truly one of the most beautiful places I\u00b4ve ever been. And certainly one of the most exotic!<\/p>\n

\"coldGeometry\"<\/p>\n

\u201cCold Geometry\u201d<\/em>, 60\u00d790 cm<\/p>\n

I placed this picture in the hallway between the mess, the two day-rooms, the stairs and the exit.<\/p>\n

\"_MG_7343\"<\/p>\n

Moving on, we enter the smoker\u00b4s lounge. Arctic animals are the theme for this room.<\/p>\n

\"Finnmarcken\"<\/p>\n

\u201cFinnmarcken seal\u201d<\/em>, 60\u00d780 cm<\/p>\n

\"husky\"<\/p>\n

\u201cHusky holiday\u201d<\/em>, 70\u00d770 cm<\/p>\n

This is actually a contradictory: huskies love to work, that is to run, or drag heavy sleighs. According to people who knows a bit about dogs. The dogs dragging the sleigh I was in, were certainly working! This is the leader-dog taking a rest on top of the glacier.<\/p>\n

\"sealion\"<\/p>\n

\u201cWalrus\u201d<\/em>, 60\u00d780 cm<\/p>\n

All the maps are of the Arctic ocean or of Svalbard & Spitsbergen. And this is how they look in the room. (As you can see, there are still some lamp-shades and plants missing here)<\/p>\n

\"_MG_7301\"<\/p>\n

\"_MG_7302\"<\/p>\n

Moving down a couple of stories, we find the conference-room.<\/p>\n

\"spring\"<\/p>\n

\u201cSpring\u201d<\/em>, 90\u00d7150 cm<\/p>\n

These are mountains not far from Barentsburg.<\/p>\n

\"_MG_7328\"<\/p>\n

(Again, you don\u00b4t get the right impression without the lamps and chairs in place.)<\/p>\n

But let\u00b4s not complain, let\u00b4s visit the Captain!<\/p>\n

\"Husky-power\"<\/p>\n

\u201cHusky power\u201d<\/em>, 60\u00d760 cm<\/p>\n

I mentioned that huskies love to work. They are powerful animals. And the same traits are to be found in a lot of people. And maybe as an ideal for a captain. Someone who loves to work, and really strain themselves in effort for others.<\/p>\n

\"Chill-time\"<\/p>\n

\u201cChill-time\u201d<\/em>, 60\u00d790 cm<\/p>\n

The captain also need to rest, he can\u00b4t always be on alert. So this is a little fantasy in a picture. While surrounded by icy cold mountains, one is allowed to dream of warm days, resting in the warm rays of the sun.<\/p>\n

\"_MG_7340\"<\/p>\n

\"_MG_7320\"<\/p>\n

Across the hallway, is the chief\u00b4s cabin.<\/p>\n

\"snownation\"<\/p>\n

\u201cSn\u00f8fartsnasjonen\u201d<\/em>, 60\u00d780 cm<\/p>\n

His picture has a Norwegian word-play in it. \u201cSj\u00f8fart\u201d means shipping, while \u201csn\u00f8\u201d means \u201csnow\u201d\u2026 oh, well, it sounds better in Norwegian, trust me on that. It\u00b4s difficult to translate.<\/p>\n

\"_MG_7305\"<\/p>\n

Finally we come the the first-officers cabin.&amp;nbsp;He\u00b4s in for an adventure:<\/p>\n

\"_MG_7313\"<\/p>\n

\u201cArctic Adventure\u201d<\/em>, 40\u00d760 cm<\/p>\n

I hope you\u00b4ve enjoyed the tour!<\/p>\n

Bon voyage to Stril Luna and her crew! May you sail steady in wind and weather!<\/p>\n
