Solitary Madrone (10.5 x 16 inch Original Hand-Printed Cyanotype on Paper)
NOTE: This is an odd-sized 10.5 × 16” studio proof, a test print.
*Not a standard sized 12 x 16” or 12 × 18” for which you can find a pre-cut mat. You’ll need to order a 14 × 20” mat cut for it with a 10 × 15.5” window (opening) and then it can go in a 14 × 20” frame.
Unframed.
Signed on the back by the artist.
This is a handmade contact photo using the antique cyanotype process from the 1800s. All of my hand-printed cyanotype photographs are “contact photos”, which means that the large negative is exactly the same size as the paper that the photo is printed on because the negative is laid directly on top of the paper while it is being exposed.
These iconic Monterey pines can be found all up and down the California coast from San Francisco to Carmel and beyond. These pines here are in the woods near my house across the bay from San Francisco. They are especially magical emerging from the fog on mornings like this one, which are quite frequent regardless of the season.
The paper is a heavy 100% cotton watercolor paper. Slight variations of shades of blue exist from print to print as each sheet of paper was hand-painted with photo chemicals in the dark and printed in natural sunlight with variations in the weather and intensity of light causing some prints to be darker than others.
