An Abundance of Joy

What accompanies happy and can be another word for it? Joy! I love this little partner piece to A Splash of Happy that emodies the joy of the coast. As dusk settles, the glare of the sun softens and all the colours take on a pinkish hue and an embracing warmth. An abundance of happy memories surface; family holidays and blissful retreats that bring joy...all evoked in this one little artwork.

"A Splash of Happy" as shown in pics, is available seperately if you want to purchase both as a sweet little diptych.

Created with palette knives on 12 oz cotton, this is framed in oak and satin varnished.

TIMBER FRAME: Please ensure you check the images! There is grain and markings in the natural timber of this particular frame, that are NOT considered flaws. Timber is a natural resource and as such will carry certain markings characteristic to being timber. I always do my best to frame artworks so that any obvious markings in frames are on the bottom side so as not to be seen, but sometimes grain and markings will carry over to the sides and top edge, as is the case with this particular frame.

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.

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.
