Painting - Watercolor On Arches 140# Cold Press Paper

Description

This is the flower and the painting that got me hooked on painting flowers up close and personal. I love the Bird of Paradise bloom with its flaring configuration, electrifying colors and similarity to a wild tropical bird dressed up to attract a mate. Closing in, we can see and appreciate the unusual splay of its petals as they burst from the stem with color and excitement.

For the past few years I've been painting flowers up so close that they envelope the viewer in their sensuality and rich color. Enlarged, they become almost abstractions from nature without seeing the outer shape or the environment around them.

This original watercolor is painted on 140# Arches Cold Press paper. It is the original art, not a print. Framed with a Florentine gold, brushed metal 1" frame and a 3.5" white mat, it is ready to hang for your pleasure. A Certificate of Authenticity comes with the watercolor signed by Sandy Haight.

I was honored to be the gold medal winning poster artist for the Skagit Valley Tulip Festival in 2016 with my watercolor painting of a tulip bouquet.

In 2012 I qualified to be a signature member of the Northwest Watercolor Society (NWWS). This is earned by being juried into a select number of local chapter and international watercolor society shows sponsored by NWWS. The initials now follow my signature on recent watercolor paintings.
