We associate the fall with harvest, when all the gardens and orchards have been picked clean, and the gathered ripe fruit is in the wine. This is a paradoxical time of year—a season of plenty and loss, a time of reckoning and weighing the end of one year against our hopes for the next. In the spirit of the fall season, we gathered a few images inspired by this interval between the closing of summer and new beginnings.

It's natural to feel some nostalgia this time of year. Lori Deiter's soft-focus photographic image of a vintage truck adrift in a meadow is bittersweet. The car is heaped with the last flowers of summer while a cool mist diffuses the rays of the dimming sun. The antiquity of the weathered truck set against an aged barn stirs memories of times past, making this a thoughtful choice for a guest bedroom or sunroom.

Autumn Breeze by Studio Arts is a sensitive sketch of mature wildflowers and grasses curling into winter slumber, seeding the earth for new blossoming when spring returns. Isle of Trees by Studio Arts has a similar vibe. Both September songs are poignant and tender, a restful choice for a sitting room or reading area.

This fall season feels like a homecoming when we can gather with friends and loved ones around a welcoming hearth and holiday table, especially in the aftermath of COVID. Judith Hartke's naturalistic portrayal of migrating Canadian geese in flight stirs the urge in all of us to return to where we feel most loved.

We can't forget all the feasting that comes with fall! Why not add a bit of country charm to your kitchen as your roast some sweet potatoes or dust an apple pie with some cinnamon? Medana Gabbard's Fall on the Farm is a lively scene perfect for the fall season. Bright oranges, deep reds, and golden aspen yellows set the mood for contented chickens pecking for seeds, the last of sunflowers, and a hillside full of ripe pumpkins ready to be picked. You'll find this lovely village right at home in your hallway, inviting guests to come into the warmth and dig into some good home cooking.

Even if fall hardly drops below 75°, Gerardo Segismundo's Autumn Glimmer instantly transports you to an autumnal paradise. The artist portrays a vertical view of soaring forest giants holding their crimson and scarlet leaves against the sun as summer's warmth ends.

Maybe you crave something a little more realistic, like Vintage Images' White Ginger Cat Fall Canvas. In this charming seasonal photo, a photogenic feline lounges among the crisp fall leaves, its light coloring contrasting beautifully against the rich autumnal hues.

Along with the dropping temperatures, fall is also a pivotal season in both the secular and religious holiday calendars. Jews welcome Rosh Hashana, Yom Kippur, Sukkot, and Simchat Torah in the fall, invariably celebrating the new year and making amends for sins committed in the past. Rosh Hashana, or Jewish New Year, is marked by ten days of celebration, prayer, and consuming symbolic foods, such as apples and pomegranates. This ubiquitous fruit symbolizes abundance and joy in the new year. Mercedes Lopez Charro captures the bright fruit in a modern watercolor of the fruit, making this piece perfect for devotees and laypeople alike.

  

And here, we have to put in a good word for pumpkin spice. Even though Jack-O-Lantern season officially belongs to October, you'll find our images of gorgeous orange gourds irresistible. Dennis Frates' Pumpkins is a photo sure to bring smiles. In it, three perfect pumpkins rest in picture-perfect bushel baskets, fresh from the farmer's market. If the simplicity isn't to your liking, Roger Bansemer's watercolor painting, Pumpkins for Sale, celebrates the season with a joyful display in a sunny country fair setting. Looking for something a little more whimsical? Bernadette Deming's Pumpkins and Stars is a charming touch for any kitchen, family, or kid's room, crowning a trio of pumpkins with leaves as they turn from green to deepest russet. Any of these plump pumpkins

These seasonal images, whether nostalgic or modern, will bring a sunny spot of color to your walls. With the help of these immaculate fall canvas prints, you'll tempted to break out the fuzzy socks and cozy sweaters.
