"Storm Breaking" by 30"x40" Oil Painting Connie Tom A Painting a Day Texas western landscape

"Storm Breaking" ~ 30"h x 40"w Original Oil Painting by Connie Tom


I hope you can feel there was a voracious storm that had just taken place over this Texas landscape and was now beginning to break up. The sun is starting to shine, highlighting the clouds in the center of the painting. The yellow green grass is vivid from the rain. The horses had taken shelter under their favorite tree from the storm are yet unsure whether it is safe to come out into the open field yet.

"Lanterns of Gold" ~ 20" x 16" A Painting a Day Hudson River School Autumn Tree Landscape Paintings by Connie Tom

"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.

"Early Morning River Mist" 24"h x 36"w Original Oil Painting by Connie Tom ~ Sold!

It's morning and the sun has risen on this rippling river. The early morning mist still hovers above the land. I love the dance of light on the rippling water. I love bodies of water period. They are just so relaxing? fascinating? mesmerizing? Each one seems to evoke different feelings and of course, sunrises and sunsets have the most dramatic and beautiful colors which creates mood and atmosphere. There's also something about a sunrise that's uplifting. It sets forth a fresh new day!

"Autumn in the Catskill Mountains" by 30"x40" Oil Painting Connie Tom A Painting a Day Hudson River School New York Landscape



Autumn is my favorite season to paint because of all the vibrant and beautiful colors. And I love the water. I think viewing bodies of water helps to evoke a feeling of refreshment, peace and serenity. John Muir was a man who was so instrumental in getting our National Parks System established because he knew what a treasure scenes of nature is to us. I like what he said: "Keep close to Nature's heart... and break clear away, once in a while, and climb a mountain or spend a week in the woods. Wash your spirit clean." This resonates soooo much with how I feel and how I paint. I hope you enjoy this one!

"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.

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


I wanted to paint a very dramatic sky and light in this painting. This is a place in the Sacramento Mountain Range located in the South Central State of New Mexico, where many of the old western movies were filmed. This was a place where passions and emotions ran high, but without which is a very serene setting. ~ Enjoy!

"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!
