Shower of Gold Three

Cyanotype and Watercolor
12" x 9" on paper, mounted on white 16" x 12" acid-free matboard.
 
"Shower of Gold Three" is an original cyanotype with light touches of watercolor. I love the delicate flowers hiding in the background like memories from past garden seasons.
 
Cyanotypes are one of photography's oldest printing processes. Its prints' distinctive feature is its cyan blue shade, which results from its exposure to ultraviolet light. I have used plants from my garden to block the UV rays and create unique, botanical silhouettes. Additional chemicals, dyes, and watercolors are added to create a truly one-of-a-kind artwork.
