Delft Garden: Hyssop Flowers (UNFRAMED 12 x 18 inch original painting with cyanotype patterns)
(12 x 18 inch original painting and cyanotype print on paper)
Unframed. One inch shorter than the rest of the 12 x 18" paintings in the Delft Garden series.
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.
Hyssop is a flowering herb with centuries of medicinal uses.
