Description

Title: Flamenco Whorl

This painting was juried into the Northwest Watercolor Society's 2019 Waterworks show and received the 2nd place award! While wandering the grounds of a Hindu temple in Kauai, I came across a garden on vividly colored succulents that stopped me in my tracks. The drama of the simple spiny leaves had heat, grace and foreboding. The swirling vortex of the extended petal reminded me of a Flamenco dancer's skirt. It became a candidate to paint for my new series of succulents that I spent 2018 working on for a November show in Anacortes, WA. See others in this Florascape section of my shop!

My Floralscape paintings reproduce beautifully on products and fine art paper and 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 300# 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. If you’d like to see my world of client driven projects, check out my published artwork at http://sandyhaight.com. 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.
