Artwork Description

Counting my blessings...because there's so many. Even on the days that are not as bright, or that bit harder to take, I'm reminded of the numerous blessings still to be found, if we choose to look for them.

It's often in the things we take for granted, like the warmth of a sunrise or sunset that seemingly wraps us in a gentle soft embrace. Or the unexpected colour harmonies in nature that are beautiful to behold, lifting tired spirits. Or maybe it's in the promise of Summer, with its coastal aqua waters and lush headlands to explore on a much needed holiday away from the mundane. Embodying all these blessings is this pretty coastal landscape. I don't need to look far to count the blessings when artwork like this evokes it all for me. I hope it does you too.

Created on 500 gsm stretched primed linen, it is framed in a solid Tas Oak timber frame. It has been satin varnished to protect the archival integrity for many years to come, and will come with a COA.

Thank you for viewing "Counting My Blessings". I'm most grateful you stopped by.

NB: While every effort is made to capture the true colours and details of my artwork, every screen is different and art viewed online does not do my work justice. Slight differences may be evident between a screen image and the true tone and textures of my work, which is more vivid and beautiful in reality. Scale may also be slightly off due to the insitu art app used, so please ensure you measure your space.

Artist Bio

“…painting stories evoking light and hope.”

Sharon Rynehart is an impressionist palette knife artist widely recognised for her flowing, expressive style of the sea, land and sky. A former Interior Designer and Colour Consultant, Sharon had health issues a while ago that saw her turn to painting for therapy and healing. Transforming her creative practice into what she now calls ‘heartwork’; emotive, hope-fuelled pieces inspired by faith, connective memory and experience, and the beauty of our Australian coastlines and landscapes. Sharon uses her background in colour theory to create original artworks with beautiful colour harmonies that allow you to reflect on your own story; to finish the train of thought, to remember a time or place, and to explore and feel the emotions they instill. Artworks that are relatable, that invite you to reflect, force an exhale, evoke a sense of calm…and bring you hope.

Sharon enjoyed recent success as a Finalist in Art to Art’s acclaimed “Unearthed” Art Prize, and has been fortunate to have several of her artworks featured on Channel 9’s “The Block” TV show. She has also had pieces featured in Grand Designs Australia Magazine. Sharon has gallery representation in both Brisbane and Melbourne and apart from these galleries, her works can be viewed in person tri-annually at the Affordable Art Fairs in Brisbane, Melbourne and Sydney.

Now widely collected both in Australia and Internationally, Sharon’s pieces continue to resonate with many, inspiring calm and connection through an uplifting sense of place and emotion. They are a reminder to always look for light and hope…no matter the trials and challenges we all face.
