Spring Madrone V (Unframed 30 x 22" original cyanotype painting)

Sale Price: $700.00 Original Price: $800.00

REASON FOR DISCOUNT:

There are some tiny stains—thin blue lines along the upper right edge (see third closeup photo) and a faint pink stain along the bottom edge on the right side (last closeup photo).

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 (not covered under a mat).
