Deep Navy | Woodland Ferns | Botanical Silhouettes

Delicate fern fronds spread across a deep navy background, creating an intricate arrangement of overlapping foliage. Their feathery shapes take center stage, while smaller oak, maple, and ginkgo leaves are scattered around the edges, alongside tiny star-shaped botanical impressions.

For this piece, I wanted to let the natural beauty of the ferns speak for itself. Their delicate details are captured in soft, icy blue, creating a striking contrast against the rich indigo background. The different sizes and directions of the fronds give the composition a beautiful sense of movement, almost as though you're looking down at a lush forest floor.

The visible brushstrokes around the edges come from hand coating the watercolor paper with light sensitive chemicals. I allowed these painterly marks to frame the botanical impressions, bringing a little spontaneity to an otherwise delicate and carefully arranged composition.

This cyanotype measures 22 x 30 inches and is created on high-quality watercolor paper. Each piece is handmade by me and completely one-of-a-kind. It comes unframed, allowing you to choose the perfect frame for your space.



My recommendation for framing this piece is a shadowbox frame in white or natural wood, with a 2- to 3-inch mat. I suggest floating the artwork, meaning it’s mounted slightly above the mat board, fully showcasing its beautiful deckled edges and adding depth.



I always recommend working with your local framer when possible. If you're short on time or prefer ordering online, a great alternative is Simply Framed, where you'll find these framing options. For more detailed framing tips, please check out my framing guide.

This cyanotype artwork ships unframed and will be carefully packaged for safe delivery. Shipping costs $25 and typically takes 10 to 15 business days. As soon as your order is placed, I'll personally email you to confirm the shipping timeline and keep you updated every step of the way.
