Flowering Eucalyptus I (original 30 x 21.5" cyanotype)
(30 × 21.5 inch botanical cyanotype on paper)
Unframed. Depictions of works on paper framed are just to show how much more wall will be covered once they are matted and framed.
These early spring eucalyptus branches still have their tiny star-shaped flowers attached where the little acorn-shaped seeds grow. They came from a fallen tree in the woods by my house in the Oakland hills.
My botanical cyanotypes are each one-of-a-kind “contact photographs” made outdoors using natural light and real plants and branches. There was no camera or photo negative, no etched plate or printing press.
Hand-printed on 100% cotton Arches watercolor paper with decorative deckled edges which look beautiful float-mounted rather than behind a mat.
Signed on the back.
