"The Magic Hour of Autumn" Giclee Print on Paper or Canvas. Michigan Artist Christi Dreese

There is a fleeting moment in autumn when the light turns golden, the birches blaze yellow against a cobalt sky, and the whole world seems to hold its breath. The Magic Hour of Autumn captures that suspended instant along a quiet Michigan shoreline — white-barked birch trees shimmering with coins of gold and green, their reflections rippling into deep blue water, while cattails stand tall in the foreground and a sandy bluff glows warmly across the bay.

Painted in Christi Dreese's signature bold, mosaic-like brushwork, every inch of the canvas hums with color and energy. This is Michigan at its most luminous — the kind of afternoon you want to bottle and keep forever.

Bring that golden light into your home. Whether hung above a fireplace, in a sun-filled living room, or in a lakeside retreat, this piece transforms any wall into a window onto the Michigan shoreline you love.

Fine Art Giclée Reproduction

Each giclée is professionally printed to order on premium fine art paper or artist canvas using archival pigment inks, carefully reproducing the color, texture, and character of the original oil painting. Each print is carefully inspected before shipping to ensure exceptional quality.

Choose Your Presentation

Rolled Print
Available on premium fine art paper or canvas. Your artwork is carefully rolled and shipped in a protective tube — an excellent option if you plan to have it stretched or custom framed locally.

Gallery Wrapped Canvas
Canvas giclées may be professionally stretched over wood stretcher bars and arrive ready to hang. The sides are finished in black rather than wrapping the image around the edges, so the complete artwork remains fully visible on the front.

Gallery wrapping is available on select sizes. Oversized sizes are shipped rolled for safer and more economical transport.

Printing & Production Time

Each giclée is printed to order. Please allow approximately 7–14 days for printing, depending on the current production schedule. Gallery-wrapped orders may require additional time for stretching and finishing.

Custom Framing Available

Complete your canvas giclée with a professionally selected floater frame. A curated collection of frame finishes and additional custom framing options are available — visit the Art & Framing page to explore.

Shipping

Rolled prints are securely packaged and shipped in a protective tube. Gallery-wrapped canvases are carefully packaged and shipped ready to hang. Oversized giclées are shipped rolled unless otherwise noted. For oversized pieces shipped stretched or framed, please contact me for a custom shipping quote.

Studio pickup and local delivery may also be available for West Michigan customers.
