This Week’s To Paint List

Writer's picture: sharonkingstonsharonkingston

I will be showing along side sculptor Francie Allen at the July Juried Artist Exhibit at Allied Arts. Francie creates these fabulous life size figurative pieces out of chicken wire and paper mache. Most of her work will hang in the center of the space, which means I have a lot of walls to fill. I was feeling okay about my progress towards finishing pieces for this show…until last week when 2 (and maybe another) of the Reading Rilke paintings sold. So, back to being very disciplined and thinking about a deadline. Last week while my kids were out of school for spring break and my husband and I juggled schedules, I did make progress on some new work. I’ll post photos as these paintings near completion. I’m excited about The Vast Unsayable (a cloudscape), Stepping Away from Safety (a study in reflections), and a tryptic yet untitled but referencing how with ending something new begins. Maybe less blogging and more painting is in order, ha!

      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.
