GEORGE EDMUNDS' SONG
by: Charles Dickens (1812-1870)
Autumn leaves, autumn leaves, lie strewn around he here;
Autumn leaves, autumn leaves, how sad, how cold, how drear!
How like the hopes of childhood's day,
Thick clust'ring on the bough!
How like those hopes in their decay--
How faded are they now!
Autumn leaves, autumn leaves, lie strewn around me here;
Autumn leaves, autumn leaves, how sad, how cold, how drear!
Wither'd leaves, wither'd leaves, that fly before the gale:
Withered leaves, withered leaves, ye tell a mournful tale,
Of love once true, and friends once kind,
And happy moments fled:
Dispersed by every breath of wind,
Forgotten, changed, or dead!
Autumn leaves, autumn leaves, lie strewn around me here!
Autumn leaves, autumn leaves, how sad, how cold, how drear!
Autumn leaves, autumn leaves, how sad, how cold, how drear!
How like the hopes of childhood's day,
Thick clust'ring on the bough!
How like those hopes in their decay--
How faded are they now!
Autumn leaves, autumn leaves, lie strewn around me here;
Autumn leaves, autumn leaves, how sad, how cold, how drear!
Wither'd leaves, wither'd leaves, that fly before the gale:
Withered leaves, withered leaves, ye tell a mournful tale,
Of love once true, and friends once kind,
And happy moments fled:
Dispersed by every breath of wind,
Forgotten, changed, or dead!
Autumn leaves, autumn leaves, lie strewn around me here!
Autumn leaves, autumn leaves, how sad, how cold, how drear!

"cantiknya!congrats!"
"Mesmerizing...."
"great artwork..ada masa gak buat painting2 ni pk'lan?"
"A+++ lapan bintang"
"ni nak crit paklan...
I feel this is a brave, unreserved interpretation of the otherwise cold, dreary, sad, withered and mournful English Autumn landscape. The colours might allude you more to a Laurentian fall rather than the English maritime west coast climate.
But seen from the eye of a foreigner will surely deconstruct the whole meaning of autumn altogether.
Or this would look great in any modern living room wall.
Job well done."
"Wow, Pak Lan... I love it... Looks like it's drawn while you were up on a tree, yourself... The perspective really rekindles good memories of my childhood... Warm and mundane, but surely comforting..."
"i thk its just unpretentious and speaks through the heart. no mumbo jumbo, no BIG theory. just straight from the heart --- the truest form of art. i am touched by your honesty, Fadzlan."
"thanks.. always nice to view hang punya artwork.."
"still got the poetry in ya!"
"mantap!"
"Nice Port."
"I thought I were the only one who defeats winter by painting the season in my mind"
"Beautiful, Pak Lan :)"
"Superb work! I love it.

"Love it Paklan..."
"wow..paklan..cntiknye.."
Dear friends,
Thank you for all of your constructive comments. This quick painting was done during my weekly meeting with Bury Art Society. Honestly, I’m still brushing up my old skills and still far from being the master of art. However, presenting these artworks is not for the purpose of “showing off” this God given Talent, but as a big step in gaining one’s self-confidence. I really appreciate any critique and comments to help me better improve.
To:
Zahir: Selalu buat painting lepas bebudak tido pkl 9 mlm. Buat sikit2.
Zafar: Lama tak dengar che pa crit…I’m very honoured to hear your critique. I will bear in mind your advise. Actually this is not an outdoor painting (sejuk nak buat kat luar) but just a theme for our recent art meeting. Maybe I need to tone down the green colour.
Karim: I wish I could be up on the tree. Tapi sejukkkk.
JD: “just straight from the heart --- the truest form of art “That is the difficult task that I have yet to achieve. Thanks for your thought.
Syed: Bila la pulak aku nak tgk hang punya artwork...Your artwork is more subtle.
Hazrian: This is not my own poetry. English poetry is in different league. Aku tulis sajak Melayu boleh ler..hehe.
Kak Mimi: I'd never painted autumn/winter before. The exercise just marvels me as much as yours.
Kay: Malu nak jemput mai tgk kat rumah usang. Sebelum nie dinding rumah tu warna merah tua..Baru minggu lepas cat kan warna putih. Sedap sikit nak tgk painting. Insyallah, 21 November nie kalau terpilih (bukan painting nie), saya jemput datang tgk kat Bury Art Gallery .
"Hidup Paklan! Wardina, stand by your man. Salam sayang to Azhan n 9."
"masyaAllah. subhanallah. Your hands and ideas are miraculous proves of god's wonders."
"wow!"
"an awesome piece of art...good work pak lan"
"Ok, look forward to it."
"bravo my bro, excellent work!
*ijan, kak nona still in love with your rumah kayu/kg dulu..."
"nicely done bro...alhamdulillah cantik..."
