Today is the big day: the Christening of Viking Prince!&nbsp;Eidesvik AS\u00b4s new supply-ship.I have made about half of the art onboard, and am very proud to present it to you.&nbsp;The other half &nbsp;was made by 16 children in the 6th grade at Hasund School and I presented their work yesterday here. So let me take you on a guided tour around the ship.<\/p>\n

Why don\u00b4t we start in the mess, the main room onboard every vessel \ud83d\ude09 In the mess there is one very big picture inspired by Litle Toralv.&nbsp;The story of a young viking boy from B\u00f8mlo.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The ship is for about 15 men, so the mess isn\u00b4t all that big. But the picture is 300\u00d780 cm (10 feet wide almost 3 feet high) and it covers most of the main wall.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/div>\n
.<\/div>\n
Next to the mess, there are two lounges, here is a peak into one of them, where there is four pictures.<\/div>\n
.<\/div>\n
\"\"<\/div>\n

Swords in the gunwale<\/em>, 70x80cm<\/div>\n

\"\"<\/div>\n

Shetland,<\/em> 60x90cm<\/div>\n
.<\/div>\n
\"\"<\/div>\n
.<\/div>\n
And here are a couple of photos to see the art in their environment:<\/div>\n
.<\/div>\n
\"\"<\/div>\n
.<\/div>\n
\"\"<\/div>\n
.<\/div>\n
In the lounge right next door you find the Nightsailors, <\/em>50x90cm<\/div>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

and Like a Ship in the Night, <\/em>60x90cm<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The Sun<\/em>, 60x90cm<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Odin at sunset<\/em>, 60x90cm<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

This is what it looks like on the walls:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/div>\n
.<\/div>\n
As you can see, there are windows between the lounges and the mess too. This makes all the rooms seem larger and lighter.<\/div>\n
.<\/div>\n
\"\"<\/div>\n
.<\/div>\n
\"\"<\/div>\n
.<\/div>\n
If we move down one floor, we get to the game-room. There is a right red leather sofa in here, a welcomed variation from all the usual neutral colors in the interior. So I wanted to make a bright picture to go with it.<\/div>\n
.<\/div>\n
\"\"<\/div>\n
.<\/div>\n
The Game<\/em>, 60x120cm &nbsp;(This is my favorite picture on this ship)<\/div>\n
.<\/div>\n
\"\"<\/div>\n
.<\/div>\n
In the conference room, 3 floors up, are the three copper & brass viking shields. They are HEAVY, and we had a small challenge hanging them. Luckily they look so cool, it was totally worth the extra work.<\/div>\n
.<\/div>\n
\"\"<\/div>\n
\n

Unfortunately the lighting is not in place in this picture, so the colors don\u00b4t show as vivid as they are in real-life.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

First shield with runes in the bottom layer of brass, circles in the second copper layer and lace in the coppertop-layer.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Rippeled metal with stripes in the bottom layer, runes on the second layer and circles in the third layer, all copper.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Stripes on the first layer, spirals in the second layer and stripes in the third layer, all copper.<\/p>\n

On the same floor you\u00b4ll find the Captain\u00b4s cabin:<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Playing around<\/em>, 60x90cm<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Orange light, 60x90cm<\/p>\n

And on the walls:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Next to him is the Chief\u00b4s cabin:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Blue,<\/em> 60x90cm<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

T38<\/em>, 60x90cm<\/p>\n

On his walls:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The third cabin on this floor is the stewart\u00b4s. He\u00b4s got two vikings to keep him company.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Garmand<\/em>, 40x40cm acrylic on wood<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

And Hird i Gardariket&nbsp;(Viking warrior in Russia)<\/em>, ca 50x75cm, collage<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

This is the bridge. There is no room for art up here, but I just wanted to show you anyway. The amount of technology here is amazing. It looks are neat in this picture, but I saw the room before it was finished and know that beneath the floor there is a foot filled with electrical cables going in all directions. It\u00b4s a world of so much knowledge, so far away from what I do, I find it utterly fascinating!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

A photo from the reception area, with the kid\u00b4s pictures above the sofa. As you can see, not everything was ready when I put the pictures up \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Finally, not to forget my very helpful helpers: my dear Dad and Adam, the carpenter \ud83d\ude42<\/div>\n
.<\/div>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

And thank you, Eidesvik, for this wonderful commission. I do hope the crew will enjoy their new home-away-from-home. May Viking Prince sail the seven seas with pride!<\/p>\n
