Falling Reflections 2019

Rose Freymuth-Frazier painted this piece called *Falling Reflections*, and you can almost feel the season turning in it. It is a wash of earthy tones and shimmering light, built up with layers of thin paint, one over the other. I love trying to imagine the choices the artist made. Did she start with the water, or the sky? How did she decide where the reflections would fall? There’s a real conversation between the solid forms of the trees, and the dissolving reflections below. The whole thing feels like it’s breathing and shifting in front of me. And I think about artists like Monet who were obsessed with water reflections and the play of light. Painting is a conversation across time, each artist adds their own voice, their own way of seeing. It’s about capturing a feeling, an idea, and maybe even something that can't quite be put into words.
