This is the Marquee bar by the swimming pool on the
Fred. Olsen cruise ship M.S. Braemar. The bar area is under glass
although exposed to the open air on both sides. The mural goes
over the tiles on the back wall and over the canvas panels of
the canopy that angles from the wall. The name Marquee suggested
the striped fabric blowing in the wind. The mural creates a bright
splash of colour where once it was blank. The birds feather tips
have been gilded and there are other little bits of gold leaf
elsewhere. Some iridescent medium was used to create a snail trail
effect in the spiral in the sky. Below is a detail.
