"The Firmament" ~ 28"h x 22"w Original Oil Painting by Connie Tom

Sometimes when I just want to get away from the busy-ness of life, I try to imagine myself somewhere far away from cities and crowded places. Somewhere where I can enjoy the quietness, sometimes in the mountains with water and fresh country air where nature is undisturbed. Waterfalls are mezmerizing to me. To feel the cool mist upon your skin.... Hear the rippling of the water and splash of the waterfall? Now that's living! I hope you enjoy this as much as I enjoyed painting it. ~ Connie

"The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handwork." ~ Psalm 19:1.

"Fishing Delight!" ~ 4/2/09 ~ A Painting A Day Hudson River School Landscapes Oil Paintings by Connie Tom

"Fishing Delight!" was definitely a delight to paint. This lucky angler has waded out in a shallow stream to enjoy the day and do what he loves to do best...fish! The sun is bright and reflecting off the water and the colorful rocks in the river bed. I hope you enjoy this painting as much as I enjoyed painting it. ~Connie

"The steps of a good man are ordered by the LORD: and he delighteth in his ways. Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down: for the LORD upholdeth him with His hand. I have been young, and now am old; yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken nor his seed begging bread. He is ever merciful, and lendeth; and his seed is blessed. Depart from evil, and do good: and dwell for evermore." ~ Psalm 37:23-27.
