The Moon — Fine Art

The Moon 2009 shows a round pale shape against a dark ground, with small painted points and soft bands around it. The image reads as a quiet night sky with a single bright form. Mary Fedden painted in oil on board and often used simple shapes and clear colour blocks.

The fine art print goes straight onto a nail. The matte paper holds the grey tones without a shine, so the small painted points stay soft under indoor light. A white frame gives the picture a clear edge and keeps the dark ground from blending into the wall.

In a bedroom, the round form reads from the foot of the bed across the room. Up close you see the small painted points and the soft bands around the circle. The dark ground stays flat against the white frame.
