Season of mists and mellow fruitfulness,
Close bosom-friend of the maturing sun;

To swell the gourd, and plump the hazel…

"To Autumn" by John Keats
Season of mists and mellow fruitfulness,
Close bosom-friend of the maturing sun;
Conspiring with him how to load and bless
With fruit the vines that round the thatch-eves run;
To bend with apples the moss’d cottage-trees,
And fill all fruit with ripeness to the core;
To swell the gourd, and plump the hazel shells
With a sweet kernel; to set budding more,
And still more, later flowers for the bees,
Until they think warm days will never cease,
For summer has o’er-brimm’d their clammy cells.
Who hath not seen thee oft amid thy store?
Sometimes whoever seeks abroad may find
Thee sitting careless on a granary floor,
Thy hair soft-lifted by the winnowing wind;
Or on a half-reap’d furrow sound asleep,
Drowsed with the fume of poppies, while thy hook
Spares the next swath and all its twined flowers:
And sometimes like a gleaner thou dost keep
Steady thy laden head across a brook;
Or by a cider-press, with patient look,
Thou watchest the last oozings, hours by hours.
Where are the songs of Spring? Ay, where are they?
Think not of them, thou hast thy music too,—
While barred clouds bloom the soft-dying day,
And touch the stubble-plains with rosy hue;
Then in a wailful choir the small gnats mourn
Among the river sallows, borne aloft
Or sinking as the light wind lives or dies;
And full-grown lambs loud bleat from hilly bourn;
Hedge-crickets sing; and now with treble soft
The redbreast whistles from a garden-croft,
And gathering swallows twitter in the skies.

Ode of AUTUMN 🍁🍂🥀
"Which season is your favourite?"
Ummm.... It's autumn..and then spring and rain.
"But why autumn ?"
For other's it's season of gloominess, whereas for me it's a season of nostalgia. How I lighted up that first scented candle and putted up those fairy lights. Luminous yellow flame of candle and golden beaming fairy light. The slow approach of nature towards winter. A season of balanced equilibrium of temperature, how could I hate it.? The big, old dried trees with pale or no leafs, where the birds sing in serenity and unison. A season of slow songs, beige and red color palletes, white blankets, a season of self healing and watching those white-blue orchids going away, a season for readers and John Keats' poetry (The ode of nightingale) and for artist's marking their asymmetry.
Season of mists yet clear sunsets where sun dives into the pink ocean of sky. People call it fall, but autumn leaves don't fall, they fly. They take their time and wander on their only chance.
Stepped into my homeland and saw the crop swaying in pure tranquility. And hair of homemakers lifting up by the soothing winnowing wind. The only greif-stricken thingo being, I visited it dreaming. A bittersweet story.
Everyone sings the songs of spring, failing to remember, those dry leaves which remark a new start, everything that collapses, blooms into something even mesmerizing.

pitts would be the font courier right
yes agreed now it’s time for part 2 !!
dps characters as fonts pt. 2
pittsie is courier because pitts is such a generally likable character—who doesn’t like him, right? and courier is similar like it just radiates kindness and if fonts had personalities courier would definitely be the friend who has never said a mean word in their life
todd is bodoni because don’t ask why but i just get so inspired when i see bodoni and honestly todd is the same for me he is the most talented poet and most amazing person in the world and can you tell who’s my favorite character yet-
keating is futura not because i think their auras match but because of the way that they surprise you. after seeing all these teachers in welton being the same old people and encouraging uniformity, keating just changes everything up and teaches you to think for yourself. similarly, futura is so shocking to see after seeing fonts like georgia and times new roman and garamond and it reminds you that not every font is old looking and serif and it freshens your perspective and leaves you saying oh.

To Autumn
By John Keats
Season of mists and mellow fruitfulness,
Close bosom-friend of the maturing sun;
Conspiring with him how to load and bless
With fruit the vines that round the thatch-eves run;
To bend with apples the moss'd cottage-trees,
And fill all fruit with ripeness to the core;
To swell the gourd, and plump the hazel shells
With a sweet kernel; to set budding more,
And still more, later flowers for the bees,
Until they think warm days will never cease,
For summer has o'er-brimm'd their clammy cells.

there's something about autumn
that calls to the decaying
like we are the mulch on pavement
trodden underfoot.
It's not that we receive no joy
with children crunching leaves
it's just that it pales in comparison
to that of our predecessor
the sun is fading usually
with black coats and jackets
and you whisper that it's pumpkin spice
jackets, spooky, hot chocolate season
I miss the leaf-crunching when it's gone.
The romanticism of greased hair
bedrotting without a change of sheets
I miss the depression when it's gone
And there it is again in waves, crashing misery.
And now it's back I wish to drown
let Poseidon take me screaming
lulling me into states of dreaming.

I started this painting based on John Keats' poem "To Autumn" about ten years ago. Really. I kept putting it aside to work on other things, a lot of other things. I decided, upon moving to the new place, that this would be the first of my stack of illustrations in progress that I was going to work on first and finally get done for Autumn 2022. 🍂
