SOLD. If you would like to commission a similar large scale hand-printed cyanotype of this kind of tree, it must be between April and November. I use fresh-cut actual branches, and the Japanese Maple trees whose branches I used to make these cyanotypes lose their leaves in winter.
UNFRAMED.
(*Same size as the framed "Dancing Peacock Japanese Maple II)
On 100% cotton watercolor paper. Signed on the back by the artist.
At 36 x 36 inches , almost 1 x 1 m , this is the biggest size of cyanotype I have made. The tree grows in my own backyard. It is a particularly beautiful species of Japanese maple and is the title I have given it, so that no one can forget.
Though this monoprint looks like a wood cut or screen print, this is actually a form of photography called a cyanotype. Every botanical print is entirely unique made using fresh plants and trees from my own garden laid in that exact composition on the hand-coated light-sensitive paper only once. There is no ink, no printing press and no copper plate or wood block. Exposing and rinsing a sunprint this big outdoors — with a sheet of glass even bigger than the paper —is a delicate and complicated affair.
On 100% cotton acid-free watercolor paper. Ships rolled in a tube.
