Oak leaves fill this cyanotype in a soft, scattered pattern, each one showing its own shape and edges against deep blue tones. A few ginkgo leaves and star shaped flowers drift between them, adding a lighter rhythm that keeps the composition feeling open and airy.
The background has gentle variations from the hand-applied chemicals, giving the piece a quiet painterly texture behind the bright leaf silhouettes. The mix of different oak shapes, floating botanicals, and layered blues creates a peaceful, balanced scene that is easy to look at and take in.
This cyanotype measures 11 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 $20 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.
