Like Mist from Unhurried Clouds I and II each 30 x 30 inches oil on canvas

What could have been a lethally exhausting combination of artwalk and a weekend studio tour has inspired me to paint! There is something about seeing one’s work hung for a show that allows for contemplation and then a renewal of creative spirit. How fun. I started working on these paintings on Sunday morning when traffic was a wee bit slow and I think that I’ll have both finished by Saturday for the second round of studio visitors. I gave away a $100 gift certificate last weekend and another awaits a lucky winner this weekend.

    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.
