Forever, Autumn.

An unassuming note. 🍁

The client an elderly gentleman who penned this sentiment on the back of an envelope three autumns ago could not have known his simple mention of fall would leave him forever stamped in this painter’s history (and his note tucked away in a little treasure trove).  Surely I have a strange, unconventional relationship with Autumn, but I suppose he may have one, too.  And perhaps this is evidence of how deciduous trees; hot apple cider; shorter days imbued with warm, aromatic spices; crisp air; crackling fires and toasty socks have a way of connecting humans knowingly and unknowingly.

Autumn, I say this to you each September, but for good reason: it is so wonderful to have you back again.
 
-OH
