“Late Frost, Pines” (oil on panel), by Christina Beecher, in her show “Quiet Thaw,’’ at Galatea Fine Art, Boston.
“The transition from one season to the next is often overlooked and under-appreciated. Many of us tend to look forward to the warmth of summer, or the beginning of fall … all the while hurrying these changes and transitions in anticipation of what comes next. For me, the seasonal ‘in between’ times, particularly the unfreezing of winter ahead of the regrowth of spring, is of great interest. My goal in these works is to point out these ‘in between’ times as opportunities for calm reflection and quiet serenity.”
