This is a combination of painting and a kind of alternative photographic process from the 1800s: cyanotype. I drew the outline of the madrone tree branch nd 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 during exposure to light. If you look closely you see tiny leaves of ferns and other tiny plants and vines.
