Original artwork description:

Full Moon rising over the sea.

'Selene' is the Ancient Greek name for the Moon. I absolutely love this 1969 NASA map of the Moon's surface which I have used in several pieces. In this one I first painted the sea and sky using spray paint developed for urban graffiti artists (the pigmentation is second to none but the acetone smell is something else - have to do it outside!), then applied acrylic paint to create the waves and the stars. I also decided to only varnish the sea half of the painting, to make it glisten (the top half will be fine unvarnished - Picasso never varnished his paintings, and if it's good enough for him...)

DELIVERY INFORMATION
In order to avoid trips to the Post Office, I shall be arranging for delivery to be via courier (not Hermes!) and shipping charges will reflect this. As prices will vary depending on the purchaser's location, if the actual shipping price is less than that charged, I will refund the difference. I am happy to arrange collection.

IMPORTANT - Rather sadly I've decided that, following Brexit, I can no longer sell my artwork to purchasers in the EU. The customs/VAT regulations are an absolute nightmare and I don't want to risk purchasers having to fork out a lot of unforeseen extra money when taking delivery, and even if I agree to pay Customs and VAT upfront before sending out, the red tape involved just looks horrendous.

I will still be selling to customers outside the EU as there's been no changes there so everything remains the same. My apologies, all I can say is that I voted to remain.

Materials used:

spray paint, acrylic paint, paper
