"A Romantic Memory" ~ 7" x 5" A Painting A Day Hudson River School Landscapes by Connie Tom

In his journals, Delacroix said that colors are "the music of the eyes," that they "combine like sounds" that create harmonies rivaling those produced by the great composers with great orchestras. In fact, he says: "Certain color harmonies produce sensations that even music cannot achieve." It is my goal to produce color harmonies that create positive and uplifting sensations.
The setting, the light and colors are all reflective of a wintery scene in time past... when a night out on the town meant a romantic ride in a horse drawn carriage with the one you love. It meant milling around and greeting others out on the street, visiting the little sidewalk shops and outside cafes. It's about evening twilight and the street lights are reflecting in the wet pavement. Even the horse is decked out with bells on his bridle. The carriage has stopped. A gentleman is waiting by the carriage while the lady is talking with a street vendor selling flowers. I painted this work in a little more impressionistic style than is my usual, which the blurriness I think adds to the idea that it's a memory. This painting evokes feelings of true love, peace and joy, wholesomeness, purity, light and feelings of harmony and well-being. I hope you enjoy this painting as much as I enjoyed painting it. ~ Connie

"Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; for He is faithful that promised: And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works." ~ Hebrews 10:23-24.

"An Old Fashion Christmas Buggy Ride" ~ 36"x48" A Painting a Day Hudson River School Luminous Landscapes Oil Paintings by Connie Tom" ~ 36"x48" A Painting a Day Hudson River School Luminous Landscapes Oil Paintings by Connie Tom

I wanted everything about this painting to savor of two things.... Christmas and romance. From the intense and colorful sunset in the sky to the lighted windows, coziness and warmth in the log cabin. From the Christmas tree in the window and the frosty snowman in the yard to the lovers in the horse drawy buggy. From the smoke coming out of the chimney, you know there’s a roaring fire inside awaiting the couple. With the glistening snow and majestic mountains, I wanted this scene to be full of light and beauty and to evoke feelings of delight, love and peace. ~ Enjoy!

"Be careful for nothing: but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things." ~ Philippians 4:6-8.

"Sunset at Grand Falls" ~ 34"x22" Hudson River School A Painting a Day Arizona Sunset Landscapes by Connie Tom

I love waterfalls! This one reminds me of the free flowing love and grace of Almighty God showing something about His character through His Creation. The Bible says that we can know the invisible things of God through the things that are seen. This work pictures a brilliant sunset back in the 80's over Grand Falls, Arizona. The light shining through the fog and mist breaks down into prismatic colors through the mist and fog. ~ Enjoy!

He had such a gift of creating mood and atmosphere and painted many panaramic scenes such as this one. I hope you enjoy this one as much as I enjoyed painting it! ~ Connie

"Reflections of Autumn II" ~ 20" x 16" A Painting a Day Hudson River School Landscape Paintings by Connie Tom

"Pathway of Life" ~ 16" x 20" Hudson River School Landscapes A Painting a Day by Connie Tom

This painting reminded me of the pathway of life we all walk on spiritually with all it's ups and downs, bumps and rocks, veering to the left or right, the end out of sight...fencing on both sides.... Like this is the path we're supposed to be on. Just keep on walking. So what if you don't see the end. Look for and enjoy the beauty all along the way and keep following the Light!

"Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the Light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life." ~ John 8:12.

"Branson Hills Autumn" ~ 12"x9" A Painting a Day Hudson River School Mountain Landscapes by Connie Tom

This is an original oil painting by Missouri artist Connie Tom picturing the beginning of autumn in the hills of Branson. The sun is shining through the trees. It's after a shower and the colors seem to come alive. The road entering at the bottom of the picture seems to invite the viewer into the picture. It would be nice to take a walk through the Ozark Hills and enjoy the sun shining on you, listening to all the little woodland animals and birds in the trees and enjoy the brilliant colors of autumn. With all the detail and beautiful colors it has a very cheerful feel to it.
~ Enjoy!

"Moonlight on the River" 16"h x 20"w ~ Up for Bid! Hudson River School A Painting a Day Landscapes by Connie Tom

I really enjoyed painting this one, trying ever so hard to get that luminescence of light in the sky. It was achieved layer upon layer of paint. I wanted it to be a fairly simple in composition, mostly just nature, so as to evoke a feeling of peace and tranquility and I think the cool green and blue colors are soothing also. There is something comforting about listening to the soft rippling of the running water of a river. Many times in the Bible, the word "river" is associated with peace and abundance. ~ Enjoy!

"Hidden Falls" 30"h x 24"w ~ Up for Bid! Hudson River School A Painting a Day Landscapes by Connie Tom

Located in Montana, Hidden Falls is a picture of such hidden beauty that can be found in rocky places. Like the joy we can experience when all is well in our own souls. Overflowing and abundant joy that maybe we think that only we know about, but which is perceived also by others as something different. Something that is very good.
I tried to put lots little subtle color changes such as many hues of blues, aquas, burgundys in the shaded areas of the water and yellow and orange tints in the highlighted areas of the water to add interest, beauty, variety and abundance. ` Enjoy!

"Creek Retreat XIV" 20"h x 24"w ~ Up for Bid! Hudson River School A Painting a Day Landscapes by Connie Tom

Autumn to me is one of the most special times of the year. A time full of activity and energy with all the brightly colored leaves floating through the air. Changes in the foliage and landscape are happening all around us.
High in the Rocky Mountains area, this little creek meanders it’s way quietly through the trees. The festive leaves seem to be setting the stage for the holidays seasons of Thanksgiving and Christmas with such radiant colors of Harvest. As we view the flurry of leaves, they seem to be saying, Get ready... Winter is coming! The holidays are just around the corner. Better get done what you need to get done to be ready for joyous times of warm hospitality, family gatherings, love, laughter and lots of good food and fond remembrances of all we have to be thankful for. Truly a time of Harvesting all that “Good” is.
The tall stately tree trunks remind me that as they stand straight and tall and continue to grow through many seasons, they are a picture of faith that we human beings can be content and stand straight and tall with the same strength, stability and dignity through all the seasons of our own lives.

"Peaceful Waterfall" 36"h x 24"w ~ Up for Bid! Hudson River School A Painting a Day Landscapes by Connie Tom

I love to take what might be an ordinarily simple scene that’s so clean, and fresh and pure and that exonerates all it’s little nuances of beauty and light. The Swedish painter Anders Zorn said basically that great music is great because of simple melodies augmented by layers of complexity. This simple scene is enhanced by a beautiful sunset and the striking play of autumn light. As the deep rich colors of the sky and landscape seem to pay homage to the focus of the painting, the peaceful waterfall, there becomes something almost spiritual about it. ~ Enjoy!

"Autumn's Hidden Sanctuary IV" 28"x22" ~ Up for Bid! Hudson River School A Painting a Day Landscapes by Connie Tom

I love the feel of the autumn woods. To me, it's somewhat of a sanctuary with the huge trees and the canopy of autumn leaves. There's an intimacy in the solitude of nature. I love the colors of autumn, because it seems to have the colors of the other three seasons as well as the many colors unique to it's own season. Enjoy!

"Romantic Sunset Surf" ~ 24"x30" A Painting a Day Luminous Hudson River School Landscapes and Seascapes California Art by Connie Tom

There is something so mezmerizing to sit, watch and listen to the ocean... The endless tide coming in and then going back out. The sound of the crashing of the waves. The thousands of glints of light reflecting off of the ocean's waves. The light of a beautiful sunset filtering through the misty atmosphere creates such a captivating mood and atmosphere, such a beauty... Sooooo romantic..... Enjoy!

"Monterey Cypress" ~ 36"x24" A Painting a Day Hudson River School Landscapes California Art by Connie Tom

"Monterey Cypress" was a fun to do. The ocean holds such an awesome, mezmerizing amazement for me. There's something about large panaramic views of the ocean that reminds me that some of the vast regions of the earth are yet unexplored by man and makes me appreciate the wonder and beauty of this created design... which always brings you back to the Creator. I hope you enjoy this one as much as I enjoyed painting it! ~ Connie
"Oh that men would praise the LORD for His goodness, and for His wonderful works to the children of men." Psalm 107:15.

"Captured by the Light III" ~ A Painting a Day Hudson River School Luminous Landscapes Paintings by Connie Tom

I absolutely love the luminosity of Light! When you think of "light", it's something light and airy, not heavy and burdensome. I think of purity, holiness, and rightousness, cleanliness, godliness, not dark, dreary, tainted, down and dirty, and filthy. Jesus Christ said, "I am the Light of the world". "He who cometh to Me, I will in no wise cast out." "Come unto Me, ye that are heavy laden and I will give you rest unto your souls". I guess that's why I am soooo drawn to the light and thus want to paint it. I am fascinated and mezmerized by it. It cheers me up and makes me joyful. It reminds me of all the things I have to be grateful for. Just as I am, this lone boater seems to be "Captured by the Light". ~ Enjoy!

"Forest Floor" ~ 16"x20" A Painting a Day Hudson River School Landscapes Oil Paintings by Connie Tom

Trees fascinate me! And forests.... how the light filters through the leaves and highlights some and leaves some in the shade. Then the light changes, and you have a whole new painting. I hope you enjoy this one! ~ Connie

"Bless the Lord, O my soul, O Lord my God, Thou art very great; Thou art clothed with honour and majesty. Who coverest Thyself with light as with a garment: Who stretchest out the heavens like a curtain: Who layeth the beams of His chambers in the waters: Who maketh the clouds His chariot: Who walketh upon the wings of the wind: Who maketh His angels spirits; His ministers a flaming fire." ~ Psalm 104:1-4.

"Aspens Aglow" ~ 24"w x 36"h A Painting a Day Hudson River School Autumn Tree Aspen Landscapes Paintings by Connie Tom

For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry. Behold, his soul which is lifted up is not upright in him: but the just shall live by his faith." ~ Habakkuk 2:2-4.

"Fishing in the Moment" 24" x 36" Hudson River School Daily Painters by Connie Tom

These two lucky fishermen have escaped the busy-ness of life, not only to fish if they please, but to experience the elements of life and nature. They are out on the lake during a beautiful sunset. I wanted to catch this moment in time when the clouds start rolling in and the light from the sunset filters through the atmosphere in the heavens above creating a myriad of cloud colors and quite a light show. When the clouds start moving in fast, you don't know what's going to happen. There's a feeling of vulnerability and also an element of anticipation. In awe of this breathtaking beauty, these fishermen are happily... "enjoying the moment." ~ Connie

"So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God." ~ Romans 10:17

"Breakthrough!" ~ 30"x 24" A Painting a Day Hudson River School landscapes by Connie Tom

"Sailboats in the Sunset II" ~ 12"x24" A Painting a Day Hudson River School Landscapes Paintings by Connie Tom

This is the second in a series of paintings entitled the "Sailboats in the Sunset Series". This work pictures a beautiful sunset that is also reflected in the ocean. There are sailboats along the horizon and breakers are making their way to the shore. Sunsets and sunrises are my favorite time of day to paint because that's when you can see the most dramatic lighting. Enjoy!

"Then spake Jesus unto them saying, "I am the Light of the world; he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life." ~ John 8:12

"Study of a Rim Sitter" ~ 16"x12" A Painting a Day Hudson River School Mountain Landscapes by Connie Tom

Rim sitting has been popular throughout the ages for contemplative purposes. To have time to oneself to sit on the world's most elevated places helps to clear the mind and make problems seem to diminish in the view of such vast and timeless beauty. I hope you enjoy this painting as much as I enjoyed painting it. ~ Connie

"The LORD hath prepared his throne in the heavens; and his kingdom ruleth over all.

That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith." ~ Ephesians 3:14-17.

"Ocean Waves" ~ 24"x36" Hudson River School A Painting a Day California Landscapes by Connie Tom

I love the look and the feel of the sunset on the ocean. The ocean itself is mezmerizing to me with the fascinating waves endlessly coming in and going back out. But when the sunset is upon it, the play of light is just Wonderful!!! You've got the light filtering through the mist and fog, and zillions of little highlights, causing prismatic colors to be realized. It makes me remember how Great is the God who created it and, as the Bible says, holds all the oceans of the world in the palm of His hand. I myself have never known a love so absolutely Pure and Wonderful and True as the Love of God. ~ Enjoy!

"For as the rain cometh down, and the snow from heaven, and returneth not thither, but watereth the earth, and maketh it bud, that it may give seed to the sower, and bread to the eater: So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it." ~ Isaiah 55:10-11.

"Old Man and the Beagle Pups" ~ 24" x 30" A Painting a Day Hudson River School Landscapes by Connie Tom

Several years ago, I had the privilege of riding with some friends to visit their friend... the one in the painting.He was 91 years of age and full of wit and wisdom. I tell a funny story about him on my website. He must have loved his wife, he spoke of her often even though she had passed away five years prior. Now these beagle hounds filled the gap. Even though the pups he tenderly holds are yapping, clamoring for attention, he is still the main attraction. There was such a kindness about him. He's passed on now, but memory of him still remains. Enjoy!

"Fishing at First Light II" ~ A Painting a Day Hudson River School Fishing Boats Sunsets Landscapes by Connie Tom

I love to paint beautiful sunsets and sunrises and people out in nature having fun.

Sunsets and sunrises often sets the mood and atmosphere of the terrain. Today this dramatic morning light only heightens the thrill, freedom and exhilaration of the beginning of their day. ~ Enjoy!

The gold of autumn leaves are laced with sunlight in this woodland sanctuary. I had a problem with the photography of this work. The actual painting is not quite so intense of yellow, and has a delicate lace of sunlight of white, tinted with just a little yellow that is not showing up in the photo. Almost like a very light cream colored lace. I hope you enjoy this painting as much as I enjoyed painting it! ~ Connie

"Autumn's Hidden Sanctuary" ~ 30"x24" A Painting a Day Hudson River School Autumn New York Landscapes by Connie Tom

There's something about going for a hike in the autumn woods that is so relaxing and invigorating. It gets your mind off of the business of this world and on to the beauty of nature. Woodland animals seem to compete with each other... attracting your attention from one moment to the next. You look up and see how freely and easily the squirrels scamper from one limb to the next, the birds are singing and usually there's a breeze in the trees swaying the limbs causing a flurry of beautiful colorful leaves to cascade down around you. The air is fresh and wholesome and the sun glints light off the moisture on thousands of leaves like sparklers. I hope you enjoy this as much as I enjoyed painting it! ~ Connie

For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come. Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord." ~ Romans 8:37-39.
