In Situ

Writer: sharonkingstonsharonkingston

So fun to be invited to drink wine, talk about travel with new friends and view my artwork in situ. Shown here my painting Loss of Empathy, which went home with Christine last October. She has been a frequent visitor to the gallery during first friday artwalks and I simply adore her and couldn’t be more thrilled to see how fabulous the painting looks in her home.

I only created a couple of these large fruit paintings. For years I’ve been teaching a lesson on Magritte’s big apple to elementary age students and needed to get all that skill with creating form onto a canvas. Groupings of fruit can create a narrative and when my husband suggested that I pull out the apple next to the bruised looking one on the far right, the meaning was made apparent. Group Think,

my pear painting, is still available for purchase. Sitting on my mantle at home right now, but as any artist will tell you, everything’s for sale. Contact me if you’d like to come over and see it.

Here are a couple more shots of paintings in their new environs.

    Sharon Kingston is a Bellingham WA (Washington) based artist.  As an oil painter she 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.

    People describe her paintings as ethereal, atmospheric, contemplative, PNW inspired, and filled with light and mood.  She has a storefront art studio in downtown Bellingham and welcomes you view her paintings in person.
