COLOR STORY
COLOR is the element of art that first drew me to the material of oil paint and the process of painting. Not in the traditional sense of primary & bold color, but color as nuanced and earthy and warm and muddy and subdued. Color as a shoreline to emotion. Color as a language.
I'm working on a new series called Color Story. I will be working on small groups of paintings--8 to 10 paintings priced from $300 to $1100-- where I explore one color. In the process of painting with the chosen color I'm hoping to discover that color's unique qualities and use them to express an associated subject. And then I'll move onto another color and create another group of paintings.

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 to make an appointment to viiew her oil paintings in person.
