Artwork Description

"Life goes on"...that's what they say. And they're right. The world doesn't stop. But it just doesn't seem right that the world goes on when you're in the midst of loss and pain and grief.

Don't they know? Don't they understand? Don't they feel the heartbreak too? How do they just go on?

But they do. And we do too. Each moment becomes an hour which becomes a day which becomes a week which becomes a month and all of a sudden a year has gone by...life has gone on.

This emotive moody seascape was created around the anniversary of my dad's passing and all these moments came to mind as it was coming to life. His favourite place that he loved so much, my favourite place that I love so much - the coast. Where it's poignant that the tides keep on rising, the waves keep breaking, and the clouds keep passing by...just like life. It goes on.

Created with palette knives on stretched polycotton canvas, it is framed in a solid timber oak frame full of character and grain, is satin varnished, and comes with a COA.

Thank you for stopping to view "Life Goes On".

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.
