A Favourite Painting Featured in First Things and Trees and Their Parts
This painting has turned out to be a real favourite, in that since it was posted, it has racked up a whopping 759 views, 40 favouritings, 131 comments, Challenge wins and countless features, and now these two new ones…it was painted on the spur of the moment and I can’t remember the inspiration for it, but I do remember liking it right from the start, and I am totally flabbergasted and pleased at its success. It is part of the series “Trees“
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... John Keats
Thank you so much
