Spring Ficus III (Unframed 24 x 18" original cyanotype painting)

$500.00

18 x 24 inches on heavy cotton watercolor paper.

The same size as Spring Ficus I , Spring Ficus II and Spring Ficus IV.

This is a combination of painting and a kind of alternative photographic process from the 1800s: cyanotype. I drew the silhouette of a rubber 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 flowers plants laid on top. If you look closely you may see a tiny flower or two.

Straight cut edges, not deckled edges. Can be framed with a mat.

UNFRAMED on 100% cotton Arches 140 lb. cold press watercolor paper
