(30 × 22 inch original cyanotype painting on paper)
Unframed. Signed on the back by the artist.
Free shipping to the United States.
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 silhouette is that of an agapanthus flower, native to South Africa. 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 are two tiny brown stains from the plant tannins and pollen of the wildflowers laid on top during exposure to light. They are the size of a poppy seed.
