Spring Japanese Maple (18 x 24 inch original cyanotype painting)

$500.00

18 x 24 inch original

Unframed work on watercolor paper.

This is a combination of painting and a kind of alternative photographic process from the 1800s: cyanotype. I drew the plant and painted it in —not with ink or paint, but with light-sensitive photo emulsion.

The blue and white pattern seen in each leaf which resembles painted Delft pottery is really a sun print or cameraless photograph of tiny plants laid on top. If you look closely you may see a tiny flower or two.

Signed on the back by the artist.
