Blue Moon In Green 2019

Rose Freymuth-Frazier painted "Blue Moon In Green," and it feels like she made it in one go, very fresh. The brushstrokes are juicy and loaded with pigment. I love how the paint is applied wet-on-wet, giving everything a blurred, dreamy quality. It’s a landscape, but it’s also very much about the act of painting itself. Look at the way the colors blend into each other, especially in the sky—it’s like she’s chasing after a feeling, a fleeting moment. I’m drawn to that small patch of bright yellow suggesting the moon, pushing through the gloom of the evening. It feels like a tiny explosion, and a reminder that even in the darkest landscapes, there's always a glimmer of light. This piece reminds me a little of those late Turners, the way the landscape seems to dissolve into pure color and light. Like Turner, Freymuth-Frazier isn't just painting what she sees, but how she experiences it.
