This is a panaramic view from on top of a hill overlooking miles and miles of country bathed in a beautiful sunset. The nearest hill was adorned with these beautiful pink flowers which made a striking contrast to the forest green folage.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
This is a painting of a sunset off the coast in California. In my own reflection upon this painting.... I see that I’m painting more and more sunsets and sunrises and that my favorite colors to paint are these yellows, oranges, reds and raspberries. Sunrises and sunsets signal a change coming in the day. To me it offers hope, beauty, glory and grace. I loved the sky colors reflecting in the water and on the rocks.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ~ Enjoy!&lt;br /&gt;

This is an original oil painting by Connie Tom. This painting reminded me of an old gospel song by the same title. &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: red;&quot;&gt;It is available for purchase at &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.connietom.com/&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: red;&quot;&gt;www.connietom.com&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; . &lt;br /&gt;

There is a beautiful song that had the lyrics in it, &quot;Morning Has Broken&quot;. There are few songs in life that absolutely move me the way this song did. So I painted this painting while thinking of that song. I hope you enjoy the painting as much as I enjoyed painting it.&lt;/div&gt;

I hope you can feel there was a voracious storm that had just taken place over this Texas landscape and was now beginning to break up. The sun is starting to shine, highlighting the clouds in the center of the painting. The yellow green grass is vivid from the rain. The horses had taken shelter under their favorite tree from the storm are yet unsure whether it is safe to come out into the open field yet.&lt;br /&gt;

&quot;GRACEFUL BIRCH TREES IN AUTUMN&quot; is an original oil painting by listed gallery artist Connie Tom. It is painted on a 24&quot;h x 36&quot;w stretched canvas. It is unframed so that you can match the colors and decor in room where you will hang it. These graceful birch trees beautifully frame the under story of this brilliant fall forest located in Lake Superior&#39;s western shoreline in Minnesota&#39;s Split Rock Lighthouse State Park. This painting comes with a COA (Certificate of Authenticity) and a Provenance Statement.&lt;br /&gt;

This original oil painting pictures&amp;nbsp;a sunset over the&amp;nbsp;Llano River located in Texas adorned in autumn colors. This work evokes feelings of peace, rest and tranquility and is painted on a 24&quot;h x 36&quot;w stretched canvas and is available for purchase.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&quot;SUNDOWN ON THE RIO GRANDE&quot; is a work of color and light, mood and atmosphere. This work pictures a view of the Rio Grande River at sundown. The colors are very romantic...reminding us of those skies where the cowboy rides off into the sunset. This clouds and sky are vibrant with colors and compliments the western flair. The sun and sky colors are softly reflected on the water.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
COLORS&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The music of the eyes&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In his journals, Delacroix said that colors are &quot;the music of the eyes,&quot; that they &quot;combine like sounds&quot; that create harmonies rivaling those produced by the great composers with great orchestras. In fact, he says: &quot;Certain color harmonies produce sensations that even music cannot achieve.&quot; This artist tries hard to produce color harmonies that create positive and uplifting sensations.&lt;br /&gt;

It’s a delightful, quiet snowy evening with this lighted cabin welcoming in all who travel this snow covered path to it’s door.

The sun was setting and the light hitting the canyon walls was amazing! You could still see a little of the blue sky just above the canyon. But the moisture in the air created this wonderful mists rising from the canyon. The whole affect was sheer ambiance. Enjoy!&lt;br /&gt;

This painting is of a glorious sunburst as seen from the shores in California. With the sunburst colors, the uplifting clouds and the wonderful color combinations of the reflections in the water and shore, this scene just resounded to me like a song of praise to God our Creator, which was the inspiration for the title of this work.&lt;br /&gt;

This painting is a scene from South Carolina’s Hunting Island State Park which covers 5,000 acres of pristine salt marsh, beach and maritime forest. I loved the contrast of the complementery colors of the deep reds and oranges in the sky against the light greens in the grasses. And of course I always love sunrises and sunsets. To me, they are both sunshine for the soul!&lt;br /&gt;

This painting is a scene from the panhandle town of St. Marks in Florida. In the 1820’s, this town was considered a vital port of entry for the planting and growing regions in Florida and Georgia. Today this small community (population 315) is known for bordering St. Marks National Wildlife Refuge. Pristine coastal marshes, tidal creeks and upland forests give us a look at an unspoiled Florida, where peace and quiet reign. This is a painting of St. Marks Lighthouse, where you can see miles of marsh and sandy beach.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: red;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Please see more of my work at &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.connietom.com/&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: red;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;www.connietom.com&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: red;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #3d85c6;&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;&quot;Though the Lord be high, yet hath he respect unto the lowly: but the proud he knoweth afar off. Though I walk in the midst of trouble, thou wilt revive me: thou shalt stretch forth thine hand against the wrath of mine enemies and thy right hand shall save me. The Lord will perfect that which concerneth me; thy mercy, O Lord, endureth for ever: forsake not the works of thine own hands.&quot; ~ Psalm 138:6-8.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;

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!&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #3d85c6;&quot;&gt;&quot;For the Scripture saith, &#39;Whosoever believeth on Him (the Lord Jesus Christ) shall not be ashamed. For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon Him.

&lt;br /&gt;
This work pictures a mid-view of water with two canoeists in a canoe in autumn. Autumn is in full array and it&#39;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!&lt;br /&gt;

I paint&amp;nbsp;a lot of&amp;nbsp;nature scenes and scenes of the wilderness. This scene pictures the buffalo among the geysers at Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming. I was reading an article in the Sunday paper about how fatigue can set in with too many decisions. It was suggested that we take a look at scenes of nature. it said that studies have shown that nature scenes can restore and regenerate attention. John Muir (b.21 April 1838) was a Scottish-born American naturalist and author and advocate of the preservation of wilderness in the United States. He petitioned the U.S. Congress for the National Park bill that was passed in 1890. Because of the spiritual quality and enthusiasm toward nature expressed in his writings, he was able to inspire readers, including presidents and congressmen, to take action to help preserve large nature areas. He is referred to as the &quot;Father of the National Parks&quot; today.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #3d85c6;&quot;&gt;&quot;I waited patiently for the Lord: and he inclined unto me, and heard my cry. He brought me up also out of an horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and set my feet upon a rock, and established my goings. And he hath put a new song in my mouth, even praise unto our God: many shall see it, and fear, and shall trust in the Lord. Blessed is that man that maketh the Lord his trust, and respecteth not the proud, nor such as turn aside to lies.&quot; ~ Psalm 40:1-4&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #3d85c6;&quot;&gt;&quot;Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord; and the people whom he hath chosen for his own inheritance. The Lord looketh from heaven; he beholdeth all the sons of men. From the place of his habitation he looketh upon all the inhabitants of the earth.&quot; ~ Psalm 33:13-14&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #3d85c6;&quot;&gt;&quot;Behold, the eye of the Lord is upon them that fear him, upon them that hope in his mercy; To deliver their soul from death, and to keep them alive in famine. Our soul waiteth for the Lord; he is our help and our shield.&quot; ~ Psalm 33:18-20&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;</description><link>http://connietom.blogspot.com/2012/08/autumns-gold-by-24x36-oil-painting.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Connie Tom)</author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgK5u9wK8xIMtKhFPycvyU0WB3aHkj9SQl11ZsYjHOgt5Kxk2NSNjsAWJbZ2yE00Es-iNwcx8Sv3ReG5uqAGymlm9aZfaLzj7LhMoEvY-LT0ymVX2WwW3OpoM1vpW8FUtB8wzTl1g/s72-c/Autumn&#39;sGold0389850.jpg" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>0</thr:total></item></channel></rss>
