Rhododendron Branch I (Unframed 18 x 12" original cyanotype painting on paper)
12 × 18 inches on heavy cotton watercolor paper.
Unframed.
This is a combination of painting and a kind of alternative photographic process from the 1800s: cyanotype. I drew the silhouette of the California Tree Poppies 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 flowers plants laid on top. If you look closely you may see a tiny flower or two.
Price is for one painting, Rhododendron Branch I, but there are virtual depictions of this painting next to others of the exact same size to give a sense of how it would look together with one or two others in a row. The names of the others shown in the mockups are Spring Rhododendron I and Spring Rhododendron II , both 18 × 12 inches.
UNFRAMED on 100% cotton Arches 140 lb. cold press watercolor paper with straight-cut edges.
