"Lanterns of Gold" ~ 20"h x 16"w Original Oil Painting by Connie Tom

It's exhilarating to me to walk through the woods after it rains or when the morning dew is still wet upon the leaves. As the sun begins to shine, the sunlight reflects from off the leaves and glistens like "Lanterns of Gold". This is the first painting I have done a series of autumn tree paintings called "Lanterns of Gold". ~ Enjoy!


"Ye that love the LORD, hate evil: he preserveth the souls of his saints; he delivereth them out of the hand of the wicked. Light is sown for the righteous, and gladness for the upright in heart. Rejoice in the LORD, ye righteous: and give thanks at the remembrance of his holiness." ~ Psalm 97:10-12.

"Lanterns of Gold II" ~ 30" x 24" A Painting a Day Hudson River School Autumn Tree Landscapes by Connie Tom

This is the second in a series of oil paintings that I did entitled the "Lanterns of Gold Series". I love the colors of autumn and I love trees and being out in the woods. And I am especially fascinated with how light reflects off of water still on the many colored autumn leaves when the morning dew is still fresh on the leaves. They glisten like "Lanterns of Gold". I hope you enjoy this as much as I enjoyed painting it. ~Connie

"The Lord hath prepared His throne in the heavens; and His kingdom ruleth over all. Bless the Lord, ye His angels, that excel in strength, that do His commandments, hearkening unto the voice of His word. Bless ye the Lord, all ye His hosts; ye ministers of His, that do His pleasure. Bless the Lord, all His works in all places of His dominion: bless the Lord, O my soul. ~ Psalm 103:19-22

"Lanterns of Gold IV" ~ 12/17/07 A Painting a Day by Connie Tom

When I walk through the woods, I find myself in awe of the beauty of nature. I am aware of the life teeming all around me, be it plant or animal. As an artist, I watch with interest the play of light on the millions of leaves as the wind creates movement in the branches and limbs. I hope you enjoy this painting as much as I enjoyed painting it! ~Connie

"Thou sendest forth thy spirit, they are created: and thou renewest the face of the earth. The glory of the Lord shall endure for ever: the Lord shall rejoice in his works." ~ Psalms 104:24, 30-31
