An original 12 x 12 inch acrylic painting on wood panel now framed in a 13.5 x 13.5" x 1.25" deep white solid wood floater frame. The same frame is on the other small tree paintings this size, Afternoon Bay Laurel (13.5 x 13.5") and Sunrise Magnolia (13.5 x 13.5").

This is a California Bay Laurel tree. It is native to California and Oregon. Here, in Northern California, most of the native trees such as Madrone, Monterey, Pine and Bay, Laurel do not lose their leaves in winter, so, even though I gathered these branches during a January hike, they were green with tiny berries anticipating spring.

The different darker and lighter layers of this painting are thin and sheer, each showing through the next, which gives a softness and glow. You can see the dark pencil lines outlining the leaves. That is deliberate. Without those lines demarcating the silhouette, the leaves would dissolve into the very sheer sky and the design would have less impact.

The World Is Blue: Hand-Printed Botanical, Landscape and Abstract Cyanotypes

Christine So is a native San Franciscan painter, photographer and printmaker living across the bay in the hills of Oakland, California. Her paintings and cyanotypes have been commissioned by Starbucks, Mayo Clinic, Kimpton Hotels, Wyndham Worldmark Hotels, MD Anderson Hospital in Houston, UTMB Hospital in Galveston and purchased by private collectors in 10 countries, among them, Timothée Chalamet.

Her calm, monochromatic, nature-inspired works on paper are not printed with ink but are actually a form of photography from the 1800s. She works in the antique photographic process of cyanotypes, creating abstract and botanical monotypes in shades of blue as well as landscape photographs of the foggy woods where she lives. The plants used in her one-off prints are cut from her own garden or found in the woods nearby and printed on pure cotton watercolor paper. No two are alike. Only her landscape photographs developed using giant negatives and the same cyanotype chemicals are replicable, yet even those hand-printed photographs each differ slightly.

She paints in acrylic on canvas and prints cyanotypes on paper. Most of her works on paper are sold unframed though the display photos may depict them as framed on a virtual wall to give a sense of their size. There are some paintings listed as unframed and others as framed. Take not of the description before purchasing.
