This cyanotype has a soft, drifting feel. A bigleaf maple sits near the center with its vein texture showing clearly, and it’s surrounded by smaller maple shapes, ginkgo leaves, and a few rounded aspen leaves. A fern in the lower corner adds a light, delicate contrast to the broader leaf shapes.
Star shaped flowers are scattered throughout, giving the composition a bright, airy rhythm. The background shifts gently through different blue tones from the hand-applied chemistry, creating a smooth, painterly surface behind the silhouettes. The mix of shapes and tones keeps the piece calm, balanced, and easy to look at.
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.
