Words to explain my visual expressions

Christine Goldbeck recaps an awesome week of plein air painting and art sales on Chincoteague and Assateague islands. [...]

That Moment Between Night and Day is an ode to transition — to the precise, fragile instant when the sleeping sea inhales the first light and the world shifts from indigo hush to a careful, luminous daybreak. It's magical and always, no matter the colors or intensity, leaves me breathless and teary-eyed in gratitude. Visually, the work suspends itself between representation and suggestion. Rather than delineating a hard horizon, I let color and texture imply the meeting of sea and sky. A base of deep violet and amethyst at the lower plane suggests the residual weight of night; above it, rose-gold [...]

Wine and Roses is a painting about pause. It's the hush after arranging flowers, the little ceremony of setting out fruit and a carafe, the domestic ritual that marks ordinary life as something worth noticing.

It asks the viewer to linger over small luxuries: a well-formed rose, the way light fractures through a glass, a bowl of grapes that promises sweetness. It's timeless, vintage, classical art. [...]

I painted "The Mane Attraction" to portray a quiet moment between a woman and her horse. I built layers of oil and mixed-media collage to let the flowers and foliage grow into the figures. Which detail pulls you in first — the yellow blossom, the horse's eye, or the meadow below? Available for collectors; it will add a gentle, grounded presence to your space. #mixedmedia #mixedmediacollage #oilpainting #figurativeart #contemporaryart #equineart #horseart #floralart #artcollector #originalart #gallerywall [...]

These new paintings are lyrical. I could hear the creek and the brook in these paintings as I worked. Can you? Mysterious. Take a walk into each. As you more toward the back, will you be able to walk around the waterfalls or will you need to sit on a rock as the mist swirls? Renewal and Babbling Brook are installed and available for sale in the online gallery. [...]

It's about the journey because ART comes from inside. [...]

Announcing that prints of Christine Goldbeck's "Sundial at Sundown" oil painting are coming. [...]
