Cyanotype on watercolor paper 10″ x 8″ on paper, surrounded with a white 14″ x 11″ acid-free mat board.
Geranium Rozanne One is an original cyanotype on archival watercolor paper. These delicate perennials grow in my Colorado high alpine garden. I love them for their abundant purple flowers overrun my garden in September. The deer hate them, so they don't eat them either, another plus!
Cyanotypes are one of photography's oldest printing processes. Its print's distinctive feature is its cyan blue shade, which results from its exposure to ultraviolet light. I used plants from my garden to block the UV rays and create unique, botanical silhouettes.
