Raelene Sharp has always been fascinated with light, and the way in which
it falls across an object or view. The use of light is one of the most compelling
qualities of a painting. Raelene trys to use light as a tool not only for effect, but
also as a significant addition to the piece, leading the viewer through the painting
toward the focal point. Rembrandt, Vermeer and Streeton who consistently used
light to help tell their magnificent stories have inspired her. She feels light should
not just illuminate a scene it should be a dynamic part of the drama. Raelene has
painted many successful paintings following this approach and when painting portraiture
and figurative works uses this method to its best advantage to achieve a most
satisfactory result.
