Rhododendron Bud (Unframed 12 x 12 inch cyanotype painting)
(12 x 12 inch original painting and cyanotype print on 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.
NOTE: There is a tiny light green plant juice stain the size of a grain of rice on the right side of the painting next to the flower’s stem. That is because I use freshly cut plants rather than dead dried pressed flowers to create the pattern in the silhouette painted with light-sensitive chemicals.
Unframed. Signed on the back by the artist.
