      Gratitude Painting Nearing Completion

      Gratitude Painting Nearing Completion

      This painting will be donated to Geneva Elementary School.  It is nearly complete.  After drying for about a week, I will put on a unifying glaze and then a varnish (since it’ll be residing in an elementary school).  My friend Sheri at Fourth Corner Frames is donating a portion of the cost of framing.  To me it is one big thank you to a school community for easing my worries and wrapping my children in safekeeping-see previous post here. I’ll post the final in a few weeks. #w

          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.
