Delft Agapanthus 5 (24 x 18 inch original cyanotype painting FRAMED to 30 x 24 in.)
(24 x 18 inch original cyanotype painting FRAMED to 30 x 24 in.)
FRAMED. Signed on the back by the artist.
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.
This the silhouette is that of an agapanthus flower, native to South Africa.
