Description
Title: Sedona Agave #2
After a trip to the Southwest and a painting series titled Persistence of Pink, showing macro views of pink flowers I decided to do a series of succulents. Painting this neutral colored agave was a big change, not only in color choices but a much larger size of paper than I'd tried before! I painted a companion painting, Sedona Agave #1 with a similar palette and the same size so they could be displayed as a diptych with a commanding presence. Also consider a triptych of prints with "Morning Beauty", a painting the same size and palette, to create a large display! This is part of my 2018 work toward a November show in Anacortes, WA. My watercolors reproduce beautifully as prints or on canvas.
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 watercolor is painted on 156# Arches Cold Press paper. It is an original watercolor painting on a full sheet with deckle edge. A Certificate of Authenticity comes with the watercolor signed by Sandy Haight. It is framed with a 1" contemporary white metal frame and archival white foam core backing floating the artwork without a mat to see the deckle edge of the paper. 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.

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.

My Floralscapes, Watercolor Life Drawings and Sumi paintings can be seen on my fine art web site at http://sandyhaightfineart.com.
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. The initials now follow my signature in recent paintings.

Nice painting, I like the soft colors and tones. Beautiful play between shadow and light within those leaves!
Sandy Haight replied:
Thanks William. Watercolor is a luminous medium to use lots of color to create neutrals.
