Description

I thought I was painting a white dahlia, but the closer I looked the more colors seemed to appear and get richer as I layered them on to create the depth. The architecture of this plant is magnificent in its structure with the petals appearing so strong that they can hold the water drops of the morning mist.

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.

The art is professionally photographed which will make reproductions impossible to discern from the original painting other than the deckle edge of the painting which is part of the original art.

This watercolor is painted on 140# Arches Cold Press paper. It is framed with a Florentine gold, brushed metal 1" frame and a 3.5" white mat with archival backing and conservation glass. A Certificate of Authenticity comes with the watercolor signed by Sandy Haight. It is ready to hang for your pleasure.

My 2016 Skagit Valley Tulip Festival poster painting got the gold award from the International Festivals Association!

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 my paintings in this Floralscapes shop.
