Seasons change, and so do color palettes — as the weather gets colder, colors get warmer, shifting toward oranges, reds, and browns to reflect the changing colors of leaves.
With imagery like pumpkins, pinecones, and cozy sweaters, fall-themed art evokes memories of curling up with a good book next to a roaring fire, drinking a mug of hot cocoa, or talking a walk in the crisp autumn air, leaves crunching under your boots.
Here are some fall-inspired illustrations and photography to get you thinking about autumn aesthetics:
