Artwork Description

Life often feels as if we're being tossed about like a wave in the ocean; tempest seas crashing against rocky shorelines representing the struggles and trials we all often face. You barely recover from one wave when you see another coming...and all you can do is hold on, take a breath and let it crash over you.

I'm reminded though that as much as the ocean is a tempest metaphor, it's also a calming and healing one. There's something so assuring about the coast, especially at first light or dusk. The warmth of the first or last sun that casts light across the foreboding sea, like a giant hug. It becomes a place to calm and quieten your senses, a place in which to let go, exhale, reflect, ponder...a place of renewal. More so, I always find hope at the coast...fresh hope for a new tomorrow.

This large expressive seascape is created with palette knives on artist quality stretched cotton canvas. It is framed in solid tas oak (although if you'd prefer to purchase unframed please contact me to reduce price to $800 before purchasing). It is satin varnished, and will come with a COA.

Thank you for considering "Hope for Tomorrow"; a beautiful painting to invite calm, reflection and hope into any 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.
