"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!
"This is a faithful saying, and these things I will that thou affirm constantly, that they which have believed in God might be careful to maintain good works. These things are good and profitable unto men." ~ Titus 3:8

"Home in Tuscany" ~ 16"x20" A Painting a Day Hudson River School Garden Flower Landscapes by Connie Tom
I can't imagine being surrounded with this much beauty, serenity, set on a hill so you can see miles of scenery and a view of the water from your house. The quietness, solitude, and peace.... now that's me! ~ Enjoy!
"One thing have I desired of the LORD, that will I seek after; that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the LORD, and to inquire in His temple. For in the time of trouble He shall hide me in His pavilion: in the secret of His tabernacle shall He hide me; He shall set me up upon a rock. And now shall mine head be lifted up above mine enemies round about me: therefore will I offer in His tabernacle sacrifices of joy; I will sing, yea, I will sing praises unto the LORD." ~ Psalm 27:4-6.

"Spruce Trees and Berry Bushes" ~ 24"w x 18"h A Painting a Day Hudson River School Landscapes by Connie Tom
This painting is available for sale.
This is the season when many people love to take vacations. If you are like me, I love to get away to some place remote where I can find peace and solitude. This work pictures a sunrise through the mist and the fog of blue spruce trees and berry bushes in the rugged country of the Yukon Territory located in Alaska. The sun glints light off of the dew that is still upon the foliage and causes many beautiful prismatic color to be seen through the atmosphere.

It's always exhilarating to get out and enjoy 'nature in the wild'. But when you can't get away, it's nice to have this painting as a visual reminder that we can kind of imagine ourselves into. ~ Enjoy!
