"Redhead" ~ 8"x 10" A Painting A Day Hudson River School Rooster landscapes by Connie Tom

NEW!!! Prints Available. See link below...

"Redhead" was very different for me to paint, but it was fun. This little hen has been scratching for food on straw strewn ground, when something has got her attention.

"Creek Retreat X" ~ 24" x 20" A Painting a Day Hudson River School Landscapes by Connie Tom

There's no doubt... I love autumn. And I love the country, trees, and bodies of water. Creeks seem to me to be a more intimate, less populated place to go and enjoy nature. Maybe because they are more convenient and plentiful here in the midwest. Enjoy!
