Monumental watercolor depicting the Lieutenant River from the grounds of the Museum. Watercolor mounted on linen, shows vibrant layers of translucent color. This work's radience wonderfully captures the glowing and ever-changing light that has attracted artists to this site vor over a century. Friese's practice of returning to a landscape several times in order to complete her paintins en plein air links her to the original artists of the Lyme Colony, with the thrilling distinction that she executes her work in watercolor.
