"Morning Has Broken" Original Oil Painting by Connie Tom Hudson River School

"Morning Has Broken" Original Oil Painting by Connie Tom Hudson River School

There is a beautiful song that had the lyrics in it, "Morning Has Broken". There are few songs in life that absolutely move me the way this song did. So I painted this painting while thinking of that song. I hope you enjoy the painting as much as I enjoyed painting it.

"A Wintery Wonderland Retreat" by Connie Tom Original Oil Painting Hudson River School

The sun is going down and twilight is here. It’s a delightful, quiet snowy evening with this lighted cabin welcoming in all who travel this snow covered path to it’s door. With the smoke coming out of the chimney of this cozy cabin, there’s sure to be a cup of hot chocolate waiting for you and a fire in the fireplace for you to warm up to.

It's no secret that I love to paint sunrises and sunsets, because that's the time of day with the most beautifully dramatic colors. And at the lake, all those gorgeous sky colors are reflected in the water beneath which to me is just stunning. It's like a jolt to my senses. I find it absolutely captivating. I hope you will too!

"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!

"Fishing in the Moment" 24" x 36" Hudson River School Daily Painters by Connie Tom

These two lucky fishermen have escaped the busy-ness of life, not only to fish if they please, but to experience the elements of life and nature. They are out on the lake during a beautiful sunset. I wanted to catch this moment in time when the clouds start rolling in and the light from the sunset filters through the atmosphere in the heavens above creating a myriad of cloud colors and quite a light show. When the clouds start moving in fast, you don't know what's going to happen. There's a feeling of vulnerability and also an element of anticipation. In awe of this breathtaking beauty, these fishermen are happily... "enjoying the moment." ~ Connie

The shimmering gold of the aspens is a beautiful contrast to the deep bluish purple of the mountains. According to Indian legend, the aspens quiver eternally because they once failed to do so before the Great Spirit. Enjoy!

"Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me. I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing." ~ John 15:4-5.
