"HEAVENLY SUNSHINE" is an original oil painting by artist, Connie Tom. It is 24"h x 30"w and is painted on stretched canvas. This is a striking work of color and light, mood and atmosphere. This beautiful work pictures a nautical scene in which the ships are sailing under a heavenly sky with bright sunshine and an abundance of clouds. As is a custom of the Hudson River School of painting, this painting portrays a panaramic view as seen from an elevated viewpoint. The bright setting sun is the focus of the scene. The ships are in there only to accentuate the majesticness of the vast heavens with it abundance of clouds. The clouds, the ships, the light and even the waves seem to give homage to the sun whose luminous intensity almost commands the attention of the eye of the viewer. Light and atmosphere played a major role in the paintings of the Hudson River School artists. Atmospheric weather conditions can create such infinitely wonderful colors and effects in the sky and upon everything on the horizon. The Hudson River Artists all held the belief that nature was a benevolent nurturer. This reminds me of a verse in Psalms 36:5-6, "Thy mercy, O Lord, is in the heavens; and thy faithfulness reacheth unto the clouds. Thy righteousness is like the great mountains, thy judgments are a great deep..." This painting would make a most appreciated, unexpected and beautiful gift and would certainly make a great conversation piece to adorn any room in the home or office.
Always, the subject matter of Hudson River School artists was nature as a constant and benevolent nurturer of human experience. Don't miss out on this striking and unique work as an investment opportunity of this very collectable artist's work and adding the splendor of autumn to your home. Her style is true to the original Hudson River School.
