"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!

"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!

"A Place of Refuge" ~ A Painting a Day Hudson River School Autumn Tree Landscapes by Connie Tom


"A Place of Refuge" was a delight to do. I seemed to have retreated into my own private little sanctuary and found comfort and peace and delight in the beauty and freedom in nature. ~ Enjoy!

"If we receive the witness of men, the witness of God is greater: for this is the witness of God which he hath testified of his Son. He that believeth on the Son of God hath the witness in himself: he that believeth not God hath made him a liar; because he believeth not the record that God gave of his Son. And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son." ~ 1 John 5:9-11

"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
