Painting - Watercolor On Arches 300# Cold Press Paper

Description

As the Skagit County tulip Festival poster artist for 2016 I photographed the rich variety of tulips in the gardens at RoozenGaarde. The Apricot Parrot tulip grabbed my attention with its frills and color gradients and its hodgepodge of petals going every which way. As I zoomed in on the inner bloom, the design got more abstract and called out to be made big!

This watercolor is painted on a full sheet of 300# Arches Cold Press paper. It is framed with a a white metal contemporary frame and plexiglass. The original painting floats on and archival backing to reveal the full deckle edge of the heavy paper. A Certificate of Authenticity comes with the watercolor signed by Sandy Haight. A Certificate of Authenticity comes with the watercolor signed by Sandy Haight. See also my painting on Fine Art America titled Apricot Parrot Tulip for another view of this frilly multicolored tulip bloom. It's just as sensuous!

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.

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.
