Spring Madrone IV (Unframed 30 x 22" original cyanotype painting)
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: A bigger size than the 24 × 18” Spring Madrone I, but the same 30 × 22” size as Spring Madrone II, Spring Madrone III and Spring Madrone V.
Unframed. Signed on the back.
On 100% cotton watercolor paper.
Decorative deckled edges can be float-mounted rather than having the edges covered under a mat.
