A Gentle Grandeur by Connie Tom


This is a panaramic view from on top of a hill overlooking miles and miles of country bathed in a beautiful sunset. The nearest hill was adorned with these beautiful pink flowers which made a striking contrast to the forest green folage.

"Sundown on the Rio Grande" Autumn landscapes Hudson River School by Connie Tom

"Sundown on the Rio Grande" Autumn landscapes Hudson River School by Connie Tom



"SUNDOWN ON THE RIO GRANDE" is a work of color and light, mood and atmosphere. This work pictures a view of the Rio Grande River at sundown. The colors are very romantic...reminding us of those skies where the cowboy rides off into the sunset. This clouds and sky are vibrant with colors and compliments the western flair. The sun and sky colors are softly reflected on the water.


COLORS

The music of the eyes

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." This artist tries hard to produce color harmonies that create positive and uplifting sensations.

Anthem of Praise! - California Sunburst ~ by Connie Tom Hudson River School Original Oil California Art

Anthem of Praise! - California Sunburst ~ 24"h x 30"w Original Oil Painting by Connie Tom ~ Available for Purchase

This painting is of a glorious sunburst as seen from the shores in California. With the sunburst colors, the uplifting clouds and the wonderful color combinations of the reflections in the water and shore, this scene just resounded to me like a song of praise to God our Creator, which was the inspiration for the title of this work.

"Reflections of Autumn V" ~ 20"x16" A Painting a Day Hudson River School Autumn Tree Landscapes by Connie Tom

"Reflections of Autumn V" ~ 20"x16" Original Oil Painting  by Connie Tom


This work pictures a mid-view of water with two canoeists in a canoe in autumn. Autumn is in full array and it's exciting reds and wonderful colors are being reflected in the water. I thought about putting a horizon line or a ground line in the upper portion of the painting, but decided to leave the whole scene in view of the beautiful autumn reflections in the water. I liked the blurriness of the colorful reflections in the water in contrast to the distinctiveness of the canoeists and the canoe. ~ Enjoy!

But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, "With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible." ~ Matthew 19:26

"Buffalo Among the Geysers" ~ 24"h x 36"w Original Oil Painting by Connie Tom Hudson River School Wildlife Landscape Yellowstone Wyoming

"Buffalo Among the Geysers" 24"h x 36"w Original Oil Painting by Connie Tom

I paint a lot of nature scenes and scenes of the wilderness. This scene pictures the buffalo among the geysers at Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming. I was reading an article in the Sunday paper about how fatigue can set in with too many decisions. It was suggested that we take a look at scenes of nature. it said that studies have shown that nature scenes can restore and regenerate attention. John Muir (b.21 April 1838) was a Scottish-born American naturalist and author and advocate of the preservation of wilderness in the United States. He petitioned the U.S. Congress for the National Park bill that was passed in 1890. Because of the spiritual quality and enthusiasm toward nature expressed in his writings, he was able to inspire readers, including presidents and congressmen, to take action to help preserve large nature areas. He is referred to as the "Father of the National Parks" today.

"I waited patiently for the Lord: and he inclined unto me, and heard my cry. He brought me up also out of an horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and set my feet upon a rock, and established my goings. And he hath put a new song in my mouth, even praise unto our God: many shall see it, and fear, and shall trust in the Lord. Blessed is that man that maketh the Lord his trust, and respecteth not the proud, nor such as turn aside to lies." ~ Psalm 40:1-4

"California Sunset Seascape" 20"hx30"w by Connie Tom Hudson River School California Seascape Daily Painters

"California Sunset Seascape" 20"h x 30"w Original Oil Painting by Connie Tom ~ Sold!
I love sunsets and sunrises because that's the most dramatic lighting of the day usually. And of course, I love the ocean. Who doesn't. It is mezmerizing with it's endless waves and tides rolling in. The sound of the ocean alone seems to stop all thoughts of stress and pressure and seems to soothe even the most worrisome soul. With a lot of moisture in the air, the colors are sometime prismatic. I loved how the colors in the sky are complemented by the cool aqua colors in the ocean waves. ~ Enjoy!

"Reflections of Autumn II" is an oil painting I did being inspired from the wonderful work of Elliot Porter. It pictures brilliant autumn colors reflected from the trees into a lively stream of water. I hope you enjoy this painting as much as I enjoyed painting it.

"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.
