Run Softly Till I end My Song

2018

This White Persian Cat stares upward with her yellow eyes fixated on an unknown object out the viewer's sight. But what is in focus is the item that the cat has taken under it's paw - an effigy of the 45th President. The artwork is framed in a carved gold toned frame measuring 27.5h x 21.5w inches.

The sable colored mare bows her head to allow the viewer a better view of her intricate mane which is enhanced with red roses.

Oil on linen

Painted in the style reminiscent of the Old Master, Freymuth-Frazier brings the subject matter into the present. Here we see a woman - a self portrait - dressed in a sumptuous silk robe and gown, clutching a Persian cat yet with curlers in her hair. Painted during the early days of the pandemic, Rose takes her subjects from her surroundings, not necessarily her own experiences, but rather part of a larger experience of being a woman in today's society.
