Ginkgos Are Here

Gilded Ginkgo
Original Embellished Cyanotype on Watercolor Paper (11” x 14”), matted to 16” x 20”
 
Gilded Ginkgo features a graceful, single ginkgo branch brought to life with exquisite detail. Each fan-shaped leaf is adorned with raised gold foil, carefully applied to echo the delicate veining that makes ginkgo leaves so iconic. The branch itself is subtly textured to mimic the natural feel of a twig, adding to the piece’s organic charm.
 
The background has been softly toned, creating a marbled flow of swirling ocean blues, sandy browns, and glimmers of gold. Lighter than the typical cyanotype, this luminous backdrop brings movement and warmth to the piece. The natural cyanotype process has outlined the ginkgo leaves in deep indigo, making the radiant gold foil stand out even more dramatically.
 
Sealed, signed, dated, and matted in crisp white to 16” x 20”, Gilded Ginkgo is a stunning botanical—refined, flowing, and radiant.
