In northern Minnesota, there is a quiet window of time when autumn has almost let go — and winter has not yet arrived.
This painting reflects a familiar scene along the road to the Tamarac Wildlife Refuge, where ponds and creeks glow with late-day light just before ice settles in. Snow traces the edges, grasses bend low, and the water still moves — holding the sky’s warmth for one more evening.
This moment is brief and easily missed. Within days, the surface will still, the reflections will fade, and winter will take its full hold. Before the Freeze honors that pause — a reminder to notice what is here now, exactly as it is.
The piece invites the viewer to slow down, to remember late-fall drives, quiet wetlands, and the beauty that exists in transition.
