SOLD. If you would like to commission a similar large scale hand-printed cyanotype of this kind of tree, it must be between April and November. I use fresh-cut actual branches, and the Chinese Elm trees, whose branches I used to make these cyanotypes, lose their leaves in winter.
Framed in a 1.25" wide white wood frame with a 1" profile and no mat.
At 36 x 36 inches, almost 1 meter square, this is the biggest size of cyanotype I have made. This is a Chinese Elm tree which has long graceful bending branches with thousands of tiny leaves that hang like a willow.
Same 36 x 36-inch size and same white wood frame as "Dancing Peacock Japanese Maple II" and the same tree as used in "Autumn Twilight Diptych" and also in the biggest of all, the 36 x 48-inch "Autumn Twilight II."
The Chinese elm tree has long slender branches that hang downward like those of willow trees. This was made with living branches from a huge Chinese elm tree in San Francisco that was being trimmed. I love the way elms, willows and beech trees drape their strands of leaves like tinsel that blows in the breeze.
Though this monoprint looks like a wood cut or screen print, this is actually a form of photography called a cyanotype. Every botanical print is entirely unique made using fresh cut branches laid in that exact composition on the hand-coated light-sensitive paper only once. My botanical cyanotypes are each one-of-a-kind slow cameraless photographs made outdoors using natural sunlight. There is no lens, no plastic photo negative, no ink, etched plate, carved block or printing press.
