Spring Japanese Maple (18 x 18" original cyanotype painting)
Unframed.
18 × 18 inches on paper.
This is a combination of painting and an antique alternative photographic process called 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.
On 100% cotton watercolor paper.
Straight cut edges, not decorative deckled edges.
Signed on the back
