"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.

"One thing have I desired of the Lord, that will I seek after; that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the Lord, and to inquire in his temple, For in the time of trouble he shall hide me in his pavilion: in the secret of his tabernacle shall he hide me; he shall set me up upon a rock." ~ Psalm 27:4-5.

"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.
