moon girl - draco
£50.00
One of my favourite pastimes is moon viewing - I never tire of her and her ever changing appearance. I also love to star gaze and learn about constellations.
Draco is the eighth-largest constellation in the sky. Its stars form an irregular polygon with a long winding line that curves around the north celestial pole, an imaginary point in the sky directly above Earth's north pole. Draco is best seen between late June and September from the northern hemisphere and the northern parts of the southern hemisphere.
My pieces are painted in a naïve and simple style, with visible brush strokes and differing paint consistencies. It is important to note that these dolls are made from real wood which will have naturally occurring markings and grain, and sometimes there will be small amount of bleeding along the grain, or knots, which is to be expected when using untreated wood - please make sure you consult the pictures carefully before purchasing. She has been finished in a top coat of matt acrylic.
A note about 'Wood Girls'
This girl was turned from lime or linden wood by a production turner and then hand painted in the U.K. by me, a British artist, exploring patterns and scenes encountered by me on my travels and in daily life.
Stamped underneath with ‘nakamura’ characters [中村] in red ink.
Approximately 19cm high.
Please note: THIS IS NOT A TOY and should be kept out of the reach of children.
