Artwork Description

Sometimes it's hard to find the way forward. To know which direction to take. Life can be stressful, messy, busy, hard, painful. In those moments the way forward is often distorted...hard to see. I find clarity and direction easier to find when I force myself into a time out, taking time for me to ‘just be’. And  I do that best at the coast.

Even the drive there, through pretty countryside, gives time of reflection. In those moments I can filter out the 'noise'. As the lush scenery passes by I can feel the tension in my body shifting, my racing thoughts slow to a steadier rhythm...I am calmer...and as the coast approaches in the distance, the way forward slowly becomes clearer.

This expressive landscape, with a hint of the ocean in the distance, is reminiscent of these thoughts. It's created with palette knives on beautiful 500 gsm stretched Belgian Linen. It is framed in a solid oak timber frame, satin varnished, and comes with a COA.

Thank you for taking a look at "The Way Forward". I hope this beautiful emotive landscape brings much joy to you and your space.

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 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. Thank you! 

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.
