Soft shapes drift across this cyanotype in an easy mix of textures and tones. A bigleaf maple sits near the top with delicate veins showing through, surrounded by smaller maple leaves, ginkgo leaves, and simple rounded botanicals. Fern fronds add a lighter, feathery contrast, and the star shaped flowers scattered throughout keep the piece feeling open.
The deep blue background has quiet variations from the hand-applied chemistry, creating a smooth, painterly surface behind the silhouettes. Altogether, the leaves and flowers settle into a gentle pattern that feels calm, balanced, and quietly full of detail.
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.
