With a new season upon us, we look towards the leaves turning, the mornings growing chilly,
and the inevitable sweeping of leaves beginning, as nature gives us a last glorious explosion of
colour. This year we hold Thanks Giving on 12 th October followed by Halloween on 31 st October.
It is interesting to note many countries around the world celebrate their own versions of
Thanks Giving. These include – Netherlands, India, Japan, Brazil, Germany, South Korea, Liberia,
Mexico, China, Ghana, Rwanda, and Poland. In the UK, the celebration is called Harvest Festival
and an external territory of Australia called Norfolk Island is the exception in that region, who
celebrates the event.

The colours of Fall/Autumn are inspirational to many artists, with such an array of colours to
utilize – gold, burgundy, copper, yellow, orange, red, purple, and brown hues give limitless
opportunities to reflect the season. From landscapes to wildlife, from structures to people, the
imagery emulates a gathering, a clearing, a retreat and the hibernation of beast and to a certain
extent human.
Among the famous artists, who have captured the essence of the season, are Gustave Courbet,
Forest in Autumn, 1841, John Everett Millais, Autumn Leaves, 1855–1856, and Helmer Osslund,
Autumn, 1907. Their images harness the intrinsic nature of the gloriousness of the natural
order of seasonal change.
At Picture This gallery, we have an extensive collection of artwork that reflects this
metamorphosis. Come and visit and find the perfect piece for your wall.
