Little Mountain Moonrises

Two 3 x 3 wood paintings with image transfers.

     I love it when a simple doodle turns out to be a fun design you really love. This week I was doodling with a black pen and ended up with a moonrise against a starry night sky behind some snow topped mountains. I cropped the sky into a triangular/pyramid shape to add some geometry to it, made some photocopies and prepared image transfers with acrylic medium.  Before transfering them on to the wood blocks I prepared the backgrounds with a simple gradient of green and peach which ended up showing nicely through the starry skies. 
   The photos make the artworks look bigger than they are so you have to imagine them as small things, easy to hold in your hand! 
     What do you think of them?
