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.
