Prelude to Dawn ‒ Giclée print of original wool needle felting by Kris Kieper, framed 16x13"

Prelude to Dawn Inspired by the quiet moments before sunrise along Minnesota's Gunflint Trail, Prelude to Dawn captures the first hints of daylight as they begin to awaken the landscape. Before the sun breaks the horizon, the sky transitions through delicate shades of deep blue, violet, and soft pink, while the still water reflects the changing light in near-perfect symmetry. It is a fleeting moment of anticipation, when the wilderness feels suspended between night and day. To recreate the subtle shifts in light and reflection, I hand-blended fine merino wool into dozens of custom color gradients and layered the fibers to build depth, atmosphere, and the quiet stillness of the scene. The result is an interpretation of that brief moment when the first light of dawn begins to transform the landscape. _________________________ Museum-Quality Giclée Print Each giclée print is a museum-quality reproduction of my original Feltscaping artwork, professionally color-matched and printed with archival pigment inks on premium fine art paper. While a print cannot replicate the dimensional texture of the original felted fibers, it faithfully preserves the color, atmosphere, and intricate detail of the artwork. This print is custom framed using archival, acid-free matting and premium UV-filtering acrylic, providing exceptional clarity, gallery-quality presentation, and long-term preservation in a lightweight, durable frame. Ready to hang upon arrival, every print is hand-signed and numbered as part of a limited edition. The edition number shown in product photographs is for illustrative purposes and may differ from the print available for purchase. _________________________ Take your artwork home today or contact Kris at 218-519-0464 to arrange shipping.
