Maple leaves, oak leaves, and a few ginkgo shapes drift across this cyanotype in an easy, scattered rhythm. The large maple near the center creates a strong focal point with its wide, open shape, while the smaller leaves around it add soft movement.
Star shaped flowers float between the leaves, giving the piece a light, airy feeling. The deep blue background has a quiet painterly texture from the hand-applied chemicals, with soft shifts of tone that add depth behind the silhouettes. Altogether, the mix of different leaf shapes and gentle blues keeps the composition calm, balanced, and easy to spend time with.
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.
