"A Time of Reflection" ~ Autumn Landscape  A Painting a Day by Connie Tom

This is a painting of a sunset off the coast in California. In my own reflection upon this painting.... I see that I’m painting more and more sunsets and sunrises and that my favorite colors to paint are these yellows, oranges, reds and raspberries. Sunrises and sunsets signal a change coming in the day. To me it offers hope, beauty, glory and grace. I loved the sky colors reflecting in the water and on the rocks.     ~ Enjoy!

"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.

"Country Road, Take me Home...." 24" x 30" Hudson River School Daily Painters by Connie Tom

As we all grow up and grow older, our lives get busier and more complicated. More demands are made on us and life can become stressful and uncomfortable. It's times like these, that we think back to a time when we felt at ease.... at peace, happy... and loved just for who we are. Maybe it's a place. Maybe it's a person or a set of circumstances that is home to our souls. That our hearts yearn to be back in. If only in our minds eye, we sometimes need to get back on that country road and let it take us "home". To a simpler way of life. Where there was much joy and laughter. There's a richness of beauty there to behold. The country and western song from which this title was taken goes, “Country Road.... Take Me Home, to a Place I belong....”

"The LORD is my Shepherd, I shall not want: He maketh me to down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me: thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever. ~ Psalm 23.

"If we receive the witness of men, the witness of God is greater: for this is the witness of God which he hath testified of his Son. He that believeth on the Son of God hath the witness in himself: he that believeth not God hath made him a liar; because he believeth not the record that God gave of his Son. And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son." ~ 1 John 5:9-11

Spring Has Sprung! A Painting a Day by Connie Tom Hudson River School Landscape

Spring has definitely sprung! So many changes in the air, in the colors, the smells and temperature and landscape. It’s good to see “green” again and new life and the activity of gardeners planting fruits, vegetables and flowers. But these natural places are so intriguing with wildflowers springing up everywhere. I loved this scene with the fog and mist in the air, the flowers seemed brighter than usual. I hope you enjoy this painting.

"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!

This is a Texas landscape in the autumn with it's beautiful wildflowers and bluebonnets. I kept changing the sky and ground and then decided to add the horses running free.

"Sunset at Grand Falls" ~ 34"x22" Hudson River School A Painting a Day Arizona Sunset Landscapes by Connie Tom

The Bible says that we can know the invisible things of God through the things that are seen. This work pictures a brilliant sunset back in the 80's over Grand Falls, Arizona. The light shining through the fog and mist breaks down into prismatic colors through the mist and fog. ~ Enjoy!
