Description

Title: Astro Merriment

I love the Peruvian lilies called Astroemerias! They last the longest as cut flowers and come in many colors allowing more fun to paint them! This was mostly white with pastel transitions or pink and blue with passes of yellow all working together to make a stunning flower! It's painted on a full sheet of heavy 300# cold press paper and is painted through to the deckle edge of the paper. It is currently unframed making shipping much easier. I usually frame these full sheet paintings so that they float on the backing and using spacers to protect the paper from the plexiglass instead of a mat which would cover the wonderful deckle edge. A Certificate of Authenticity comes with the watercolor signed by Sandy Haight.

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.

I’ve been using watercolor and ink brush line in my illustration work for nearly 20 years, but in a much more controlled and predictable way. My pictures appear on book jackets, ads, posters, logos and packaging all over the country and Canada.

I was honored to win the gold prize as 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. I have won 3 awards for my art shown at NWWS. The initials now follow my signature in recent paintings.
