(24 x 18 inch original painting and cyanotype painting on paper in a 31 × 25” white solid wood frame with a 1.5 “ deep profile.)
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 large painted silhouette is that of foxglove flowers that grow in my garden.
