"Along a Country Road" ~ 16" x 20" A Painting a Day Hudson River School Autumn Tree Landscapes by Connie Tom

As I was painting this, I was reminded me of leisurely walks along country roads in early spring and early autumn. I hope you enjoy this painting as much as I enjoyed painting it! ~ Connie

"Creek Retreat IX" ~ 20" x 16" A Painting a Day Hudson River School Landscapes by Connie Tom

"Creek Retreat IX" ~ This work pictures a small country creek meandering it's way over ledges creating beautiful peaceful waterfalls through the countryside. Autumn has began to color the trees. This would be a perfect, intimate place to go to with someone you love, and bring a picnic lunch and a blanket to sit on and enjoy nature's awesome beauty. Enjoy!

"Let love be without dissimulation. Abhor that which is evil; cleave to that which is good. Be kindly affectioned one to another with brotherly love; in honour preferring one another. Love worketh no ill to his neighbour: therefore Love is the fulling of the law. ~ Romans 12:9-10, 13:10
And now abideth faith, hope and love, these three; but the greatest of these is love." ~ I Corinthinians 13:13.

"Shhh...I Can Hear the Country Calling" ~ A Painting a Day Hudson River School Sunset Landscapes by Connie Tom

This scene makes me think of the awakening of a brand new day. The country holds a very special place for me. I grew up in the country. I love the fresh country air, the simplicity and goodness of the land, the solitude and the wide open spaces. The flock of geese overhead represents a sense of freedom and ability to be and do what we are supposed to do and be. After all... God wouldn't have given birds the desire to fly south if He wasn't going to also give them the ability to do so. Enjoy!

"Thy Word is a Lamp unto my feet, and a Light unto my path." Psalms 119:105

"Lanterns of Gold II" ~ 30" x 24" A Painting a Day Hudson River School Autumn Tree Landscapes by Connie Tom

This is the second in a series of oil paintings that I did entitled the "Lanterns of Gold Series". I love the colors of autumn and I love trees and being out in the woods. And I am especially fascinated with how light reflects off of water still on the many colored autumn leaves when the morning dew is still fresh on the leaves. They glisten like "Lanterns of Gold". I hope you enjoy this as much as I enjoyed painting it. ~Connie

"The Lord hath prepared His throne in the heavens; and His kingdom ruleth over all. Bless the Lord, ye His angels, that excel in strength, that do His commandments, hearkening unto the voice of His word. Bless ye the Lord, all ye His hosts; ye ministers of His, that do His pleasure. Bless the Lord, all His works in all places of His dominion: bless the Lord, O my soul. ~ Psalm 103:19-22

"Logging Trail" ~ 11/5/08 A Painting a Day Hudson River School Landscapes by Connie Tom

I love the vibrancy of the color of aspens in the fall. The scene is of a logging trail in the Colorado Rockies. ~Enjoy!

"Hope deferred maketh the heart sick: but when the desire cometh, it is a tree of life." ~ Proverbs 13:12
