"Morning's First Light" Custom original coastal abstract seascape painting with reflective gold leaf accents, made to order. Commission a contemporary, beach, seascape, palette knife painting full of serene colors & texture. Select your canvas size. Your new painting will be a Custom, Original, Fine Art Painting hand-painted especially for you by Contemporary Artist, Christine Bell on horizontal 1.5" deep gallery wrapped canvas. Inspired by the mesmerizing ocean, and beaches along the California "Gold" Coast, and around the world.

Your original contemporary palette knife painting will be created to VERY closely resemble the colors, composition, look and feel of the sold painting shown in the photos (or to another of Christine's Coastal Abstract Seascape Paintings with Gold Leaf), with palette knife strokes unique to your piece - making it truly an original, one-of-a-kind work of art. 

If you would like the colors to be similar to one of Christine's other Gold Leaf Coastal Paintings, or vertical instead of horizontal, that is not a problem at all - just add a "Note to Seller" at checkout stating your request / describing colors that you'd like to see in your Commissioned Painting or a reference to one of her other Coastal Abstract Titles.

Original Painting: Hand-painted by Christine on 1.5" deep gallery wrapped canvas with the highest quality, professional grade, mixed media oils / acrylic and gold leaf. The sides of the canvas are painted grey so your new painting is ready to hang! (The sides may be painted black if that better suits your taste.) 

Each painting purchased comes with a signed and dated Certificate of Authenticity verifying that this is an original piece of art created by internationally collected artist, Christine Bell (Formerly, Christine Krainock). 

*Select your size.  You may add any custom color requests or specify vertical or horizontal layout in the "Special Instructions to Seller" field at checkout. 

Your new Original Painting will last a lifetime.

Testimonials

  • "Every morning when I open my eyes, this painting is the first thing I see. It is positively GORGEOUS. I own two Christine Bell works of art -- an angel giclee and this original. They are stunning! "Full Bloom" is exquisite in its color palette and attention to detail. I wish you could see the way it picks up the light during different times of day. I truly can't say enough about Christine's talent or spirit. She is a DELIGHT to work with and her art reflects the hope and love she radiates. The original was delivered on time and in perfect condition. On her suggestion, I chose a floating frame which really makes it "pop," however, it really doesn't need a frame at all. I get so many compliments on it, but most of all I derive a sense of peace from it every time I walk by. Thank you, Christine!!!!!! I'll be back for more...xo"

  • "What a surprise when my wife and I arrived home tonight to find our order had been delivered earlier today, ...only 9 days to deliver from USA to Scotland. As for the painting itself, Sea Breeze is absolutely stunning. The delicate colouring of the abstract design is beautiful, just what we wanted. We are so satisfied with the quality of the product that we have placed an order for another print tonight."

  • "This is the fourth painting Christine has created for me / my clients by commission and I must say, she never disappoints! She is so easy to work with. We had a particular muted color we were trying to pick up in the artwork for the main foyer of a large Interior Design Project I am managing, and Christine was happy to work with the color samples I sent her and incorporate them into her amazing artwork. The commissioned painting option I would highly recommend for any one needing a custom painting size, or specific colors to fit into their space. She was even happy to frame it for us. I will definitely be using her for more of my clients projects!"

  • "My new 48x48" XL Canvas Print of "Just Breathe" arrived yesterday and it is absolutely gorgeous! I already have it hung in my living room since it arrived all ready to hang. It is stunning, and looks just like shown in the listing. It was packaged well, and arrived in a timely manner. I highly recommend and I can't wait to add another painting of Christine's to my growing collection very soon!"

Elegant and Stunning!

My partner and I could not be happier with our new Original Custom Painting that we just hung! On the recommendation of our Interior Designer, who has worked with Christine to create unique Original Paintings in the past, we ordered a very large 60" length canvas to be a focal point of our large living room space. WOW! She did not disappoint, in fact the piece is so stunning in person, the gold leaf detail that is incorporated catches the light in amazing ways as you move through the room. We were impressed on the professional shipping of such a large stretched canvas and will be ordering more to fill our walls. Highly recommend this talented Artist!
