Christina Haglid Blue Thunbergia watercolor on paper 7.25h x 4.50w in 16.75h x 13.75w in framed CMH008 Christina Haglid Artist's Statement I used to write a lot of poetry, and it has shaped the narrative process in my artwork. Now painting has replaced writing. Objects in the painting are considered like words placed on a page. I use flowers, manipulated objects, and architecture together in compositions to symbolize the subtle conversations and interactions between them. They are placed in imaginary landscapes that are inspired by actual places and travels. All the paintings are watercolor and gouache on stonehendge paper, and they are made up almost entirely of individual brushstrokes.

Cherry Blossom No. 12, Original Minimalist Floral Still Life Study, 2020 20" x 16" (HxW) Watercolor on Cold Pressed Paper A simple and minimalist nature study, this botanical watercolor painting features a large, pink cherry blossom caressed by a delicate sprig of leaves in a deep olive green. A gray and blue shadow indicates depth, allowing the flower to appear as if it is popping out of the composition. The soft color palette and brush strokes, along with the bleeding nature of the watercolors, gives this work an expressive and impressionist feel. Images with frames are examples only; this work comes unframed. Artist Commentary: Original watercolor painting on 140 lb Arches cold pressed paper (2019). About the Artist: Elizabeth Becker...
