ABSTRACT OIL PAINTINGS

More abstract but retaining some reference to the objective world and atmosphere, these paintings are primarily an exploration and response to what the paint does on canvas.  They are equally inspired by poetry and the natural world.  Some are available as noted and can be viewed in person at my studio.

AVAILABLE abstract paintings--most are works on paper from a few years ago (shopping cart active)

    Sharon Kingston is a Northwest WA oil painter who uses the properties of her medium to create paintings that respond to both the atmosphere of her surroundings and poetry. This method of looking inward and outward and, in the moments of painting, finding her way on the canvas is her approach to creating paintings infused with poetry and the memory of landscape. The atmospheric element of her work is a testament to her desire to create spaces that are undefined, contemplative and allow room to reflect and accept uncertainty. Poetry, by nature open ended, is used both in the conceptualization of the work and as a part of the studio practice. The words of Rainer Rilke have informed Sharon’s work for many years, but she also turns to contemporary poetry when it resonates with her life. She uses layers of transparent color, reveals forms by concealing and unearthing pentimenti and suggests elements of landscape in her process.
