Description
A wide horizontal composition where the upper two-thirds is filled with a mottled, cracked pattern of irregular cream and taupe cell-like shapes, with a plain white circular moon set in the upper right against this texture. Below, a narrow teal band of sea leads to a teal-green hill or headland on the right side of the horizon, then a pale sandy shore where a thin turquoise tideline and rust-brown reflections streak across the lower foreground. The print is titled "Green Island Moon 2," by Tom Kristensen, mokuhanga (Japanese woodblock), dated 2005 and numbered 5/25 in pencil below the image.
