Starry Night and the Astronauts 1972 — Fine Art

Starry Night and the Astronauts 1972 shows rows of small painted marks set across the sheet. Alma Woodsey Thomas arranges the strokes into bands of colour. Up close you see each dab. From the end of the hall the bands read as a soft night field.

The fine art print goes straight onto a nail. The frame comes in white, wood, dark wood or black. A white frame edge lets the colour bands sit without a hard line. A dark wood frame gives the picture a firm border. The frame gives the picture a clear edge on the wall.

On a bedroom wall the colour bands turn with the morning light. The small strokes look steady from the bed. At the desk the paint dabs hold their shape.
