"Creek Retreat X" ~ 24" x 20" A Painting a Day Hudson River School Landscapes by Connie Tom

There's no doubt... I love autumn. And I love the country, trees, and bodies of water. Creeks seem to me to be a more intimate, less populated place to go and enjoy nature. Maybe because they are more convenient and plentiful here in the midwest. Enjoy!

"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.

And now shall mine head be lifted up above mine enemies round about me: therefore will I offer in His tabernacle sacrifices of joy; I will sing, yea, I will sing praises unto the LORD." ~ Psalm 27:4-6.
