"AN OLD FASHION CHRISTMAS BUGGY RIDE" ~ 36"x48" A Painting a Day Hudson River School Luminous Landscapes Oil Paintings by Connie Tom


I wanted everything about this painting to savor of two things.... Christmas and romance. From the intense and colorful sunset in the sky to the lighted windows, coziness and warmth in the log cabin. From the Christmas tree in the window and the frosty snowman in the yard to the lovers in the horse drawy buggy. From the smoke coming out of the chimney, you know there’s a roaring fire inside awaiting the couple. With the glistening snow and majestic mountains, I wanted this scene to be full of love, light and beauty and to evoke feelings of Christmas cheer, joy and peace. ~ Enjoy!


"Be careful for nothing: but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things." ~ Philippians 4:6-8.

"O' Give Me a Home, Where the Buffalo Roam" ~ 36"x48" A Painting a Day Hudson River School Luminous Landscapes Oil Paintings by Connie Tom


Just as the song says...."O' Give Me A Home, Where the Buffalo Roam"... While painting this painting, my heart yearned, if not but for a little while, to live in the days of the Old West. Just sitting on a hill viewing this panaramic view of this Montana landscape, watching the buffalo roam free. Just breathing in this breathtaking beauty of nature and the wonder of wildlife and experiencing a sense of absolute freedom. I love intricate cloud formations and skies and dramatic lighting. The clouds and sky definitely sets the mood, atmosphere and lighting of the painting. I hope you enjoy this one as much as I enjoyed painting it. ~ Connie

"Oh how great is thy goodness, which thou hast laid up for them that fear thee; which thou hast wrought for them that trust in thee before the sons of men! Thou shalt hide them in the secret of thy presence from the pride of man: thou shalt keep them secretly in a pavilion from the strife of tongues. Blessed be the Lord: for he hath shewed me his marvelous kindness in a strong city." ~ Psalm 31:19-21.

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


I love waterfalls! This one reminds me of the free flowing love and grace of Almighty God showing something about His character through His Creation. 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!

"Twilight" ~ 24" x 30" A Painting a Day Hudson River School Landscapes by Connie Tom


This was a study of another Hudson River School master, Jasper Cropsey, who painted back in the 1800's and who also is a favorite of mine. He had such a gift of creating mood and atmosphere and painted many panaramic scenes such as this one. I hope you enjoy this one as much as I enjoyed painting it! ~ Connie

"Country Road, Take me Home...." 24" x 30" Chisholm Trail Art 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....”

"Colors of Autumn II" ~ Autumn Landscape A Painting a Day Hudson River School by Connie Tom


Autumn is my favorite season of the year. I love the vibrant and cheer colors. They say that the eyes are the windows to the soul. Sometimes we see with our spiritual eyes...places we long to escape to. I hope with my paintings I can create beautiful windows on your walls of places you would yearn to be. Enjoy!
