The Grape Harvest or Autumn
Artist: Francisco Goya y Lucientes (Spanish, 1746-1828)
Date: 1786
Medium: Oil on canvas
Collection: Museo del Prado, Madrid, Spain
Description
Dressed in yellow clothes that symbolize autumn, a young man sitting on a stone offers a cluster of black grapes to a lady. A boy is eager to reach the offered fruit, which is reserved for the adults. A woman stands next to them, holding a grape basket on her head, much like the classical allegory of the goddess Ceres with fruit on her head. Some grape harvesters are behind them, next to the grapevine that leads to a valley crowned with the suggestion of mountains in the background. Here, following Western painting's traditional iconography, the grape harvest is an allegory of autumn. This is one of the most beautiful and best-known compositions from all of Goya's cartoon series. It's pyramidal structure, and the figures that recall ancient statuary, define the artist's study of the classical artistic tradition.

#my art#furry#anthro#monster#dragon#oc#not my own but nevertheless#these characters are all lots of fun....thank you everyone for giving me cool guys to draw#also BIG things coming (said for the sixth time over the course of the year)#anyway i went apple picking for the last time this year recently which pretty much brings scrumping season to an end#here's a review: blackberries EARLY. annoyingly early but they were okay. greengages amazing. brings a tear to my eye#cherries SUCKED. cherries do better next year. grapes i'm still harvesting actually but doing well. sweet#and apples kind of popped off!!! year of the ugly apple this year - the beautiful red ones were worse than the scabruous pimply brown ones#which were crisp and had thin skin and a beautiful sweet-mellow-nutty taste...wonderful

babygirl doodles from a little while ago
#my art#oc#mockley#anthro#my favourite of the bunch is the top right#just kidding it's the one directly in the middle. the one that looks dumb#everyone will be glad to know that there are two wood pigeons nesting in our garden at the moment#making for a total of 3 ugly as hell muppet babies that i get to look at. they always pretend not to see me as if that makes them invisible#you're fresh out of luck baby pigeons. i will be gazing upon you lovingly until you move out#one pigeon is nesting in the grapevine and scared the absolute shit out of me by bursting out when i tried to harvest my beautiful grapes#i looooove late summer/early autumn. fruit season baybeeee. freakin apples and plums and damsons and pears and grapes and greengages baybee#anyone here ever tried a greengage???? probably the best fruit in the world and no one cares about it. SICKENING.#i assume most of my followers r from america and maybe don't have greengages but you should aim to try one at least once in your life#preferably after plucking it from the tree with your own hand. and also stealing it from someone else's tree#just kidding i would never advocate scrumping haha....unless....?

Grapes
Grapes can come ripe anywhere from July to October around here, depending on the variety and the weather. There is a vine down at Home Farm, the last remaining one that my late father planted, that usually ripens in early September. What type are they? Well. Purple. Sorry. He didn't remember what he had planted when I asked him.
They started ripening early this year, like most other fruits, so my son brought me a bowl of them a little over a week ago. Now, however, they are really ripe. And how do I know they're at their peak sweetness? Well. Let me tell you a little story.
There were two big grape arbors at my grandparents' house, one purple and one golden-green. They were so good. My grandmother had a rule for picking them. "Watch the wasps. When the wasps are biting them to drink the juice, THEN they're sweet enough!"
Yesterday, standing in the yard picking grapes, I noticed that one had a tiny mark on the side. A wasp had 'bitten' it to get a tiny drop of sweetness. "Ah," I thought to myself, "The grapes are wasp-approved." They were. so sweet and good.
So now YOU have a memory of her, too. 1916 - 1995
(fwiw, the photo isn't retouched, she just went gray at a very early age, so she had the unusual "gray hair & young face" look.)
