"Sunrise for the Soul!" Original Oil Painting by Connie Tom Hudson River School Sunset Landscape

"Sunrise for the Soul!" by Connie Tom Original Oil Painting ~ Sold

This painting is a scene from South Carolina’s Hunting Island State Park which covers 5,000 acres of pristine salt marsh, beach and maritime forest. I loved the contrast of the complementery colors of the deep reds and oranges in the sky against the light greens in the grasses. And of course I always love sunrises and sunsets. To me, they are both sunshine for the soul!

This is the first painting I have done a series of autumn tree paintings called "Lanterns of Gold". ~ Enjoy!

"The wicked plotteth against the just; and gnasheth upon him with his teeth. The LORD shall laugh at him: for He seeth that his day is coming.

Their sword shall enter into their own heart, and their bows shall be broken." ~ Psalm 37:12-15.
