             Hazel and Cress

             Encaustic and cyanotype painting. The cyanotype print features the Witch Hazel and Hairy
             Bittercress flowers. Both plants are native to my Pennsylvania home. The Witch Hazel flower
             appears in February, in the coldest part of our winter, giving a burst of color to an otherwise
             bland landscape. The Hairy Bittercress, typically considered a weed, arrives in March and
             April. Often, the two flowers coincide, bridging the end of winter with the begining of spring.
