Rose Freymuth-Frazier made this painting, As the Moon Rises, using oils to conjure a scene of dusk or dawn, where the boundary between day and night blurs. The brushstrokes are laid down with a kind of tender urgency. Look how the paint is applied, not to mimic the thing itself, but to explore the very process of seeing. The surface has a kind of slippery feel, like the paint is still wet. I love the tension in the composition, like the landscape is holding its breath. It’s as if Freymuth-Frazier is asking: how can we feel the fleeting nature of time passing? Check out the way the light hits the horizon line. It is like a cosmic glow. This isn’t just about depicting a landscape, it’s about experiencing a state of mind. Turner comes to mind, someone else who sought to capture light and atmosphere, but Freymuth-Frazier has a rawer, more immediate feel. It reminds us that painting is not just about seeing, but about feeling and being in the world.
