James Gurney | Painting Autumn Leaves | Shakespeare Sonnet #73 @JamesGurney | Uploaded October 2021 | Updated October 2024, 1 hour ago.
James Gurney paints autumn leaves using gouache or opaque watercolors. He also shares Shakespeare's famous sonnet #73:
"That time of year thou mayst in me behold
When yellow leaves, or none, or few, do hang
Upon those boughs which shake against the cold,
Bare ruin'd choirs, where late the sweet birds sang.
In me thou see'st the twilight of such day
As after sunset fadeth in the west,
Which by and by black night doth take away,
Death's second self, that seals up all in rest.
In me thou see'st the glowing of such fire
That on the ashes of his youth doth lie,
As the death-bed whereon it must expire,
Consum'd with that which it was nourish'd by.
This thou perceiv'st, which makes thy love more strong,
To love that well which thou must leave ere long."
