"Trees of Gold in Taos Canyon" ~ 20"x16" A Painting a Day Hudson River School Autumn Tree Landscape Paintings by Connie Tom


This work pictures the fall cottonwood trees that grow along the banks of rivers in Taos Canyon. The tall dark pine trees make a perfect backdrop to accentuate the gorgeous autumn colors of the leaves. Enjoy!

"Colorado Red Rocks - Garden of the gods" ~ A Painting a Day Hudson River School Mountain Autumn Tree Landscape Paintings by Connie Tom


I love painting in bold, beautiful colors of Colorado. This work pictures a panaramic view from the Garden of the gods" located in Colorado. ~ Enjoy!

"And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, (Numbers 21:5-9) even so must the Son of man be lifted up: That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life. For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God." ~ John 3:14-18.

"Reflections of Autumn V" ~ 20"x16" A Painting a Day Hudson River School Autumn Tree Landscapes by Connie Tom


This work pictures a mid-view of water with two canoeists in a canoe in autumn. Autumn is in full array and it's exciting reds and wonderful colors are being reflected in the water. I thought about putting a horizon line or a ground line in the upper portion of the painting, but decided to leave the whole scene in view of the beautiful autumn reflections in the water. I liked the blurriness of the colorful reflections in the water in contrast to the distinctiveness of the canoeists and the canoe. ~ Enjoy!

"Sunset Over Jackson Lake and the Grand Tetons" ~ 24"x36" A Painting a Day Hudson River School Western Landscapes


This work pictures a beautiful sunset over Jackson Lake and the Grand Tetons located in Wyoming. As I have confessed before, an artist I am... a photographer I'm not. The easel light over the painting during the photographing has washed out the colors in the sky area and the photos just do not render justice to the actual painting. But I hope you enjoy anyway! ~ Connie

"Bless the LORD, O my soul, O LORD my God, Thou art very great; Thou art clothed with honour and majesty. Who coverest Thyself with light as with a garment: Who stretchest out the heavens like a curtain: Who layeth the beams of His chambers in the waters: Who maketh the clouds His chariot: Who walketh upon the wings of the wind: Who maketh His angels spirits; His ministers a flaming fire." ~ Psalm 104:1-4

"The Firmament" ~ 28"x22" A Painting a Day Hudson River School Colorado Landscapes 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! This is a scene typical of the Rocky Mountains. I hope you enjoy this as much as I enjoyed painting it. Connie

"Lanterns of Gold" ~ 20" x 16" A Painting a Day Hudson River School Autumn Tree Landscape Paintings by Connie Tom


It's exhilarating to me to walk through the woods after it rains or when the morning dew is still wet upon the leaves. As the sun begins to shine, the sunlight reflects from off the leaves and glistens like "Lanterns of Gold". This is the first painting I have done a series of autumn tree paintings called "Lanterns of Gold". ~ Enjoy!

"Ye that love the LORD, hate evil: he preserveth the souls of his saints; he delivereth them out of the hand of the wicked. Light is sown for the righteous, and gladness for the upright in heart. Rejoice in the LORD, ye righteous: and give thanks at the remembrance of his holiness." ~ Psalm 97:10-12.
