"REFLECTIONS OF AUTUMN II" is a beautiful work of color and light, mood and atmosphere. This gorgeous work is an original oil painting by artist, Connie Tom. It is the second in a series of paintings entitled, "The Reflections of Autumn Series". It pictures a view looking down into an lively flowing woodland stream and seeing the reflections of all the wonderful delightful autumn colored leaves in the trees. If the viewer could imagine themselves in this energetic place, they would definitely feel the warmth of the autumn sun. They might hear a gentle breeze rustling through the abundance of vividly colored leaves. They might hear the crickets, squirrels, maybe a bull frog or see racoon, or some white-tail deer come out of the woods for a morning drink. They would definitely hear the lively rippling flowing stream. And through the energy of the teeming life and striking colors of nature all around them, they would sense the presence of God as the giver of life. It is always the goal of the artist to convey to the viewer the beauty and power of nature and how the sight of such effects the human experience. This work evokes feelings of excitement, beauty, joy, grace and the glory of nature, and relief from the pressures of life. This painting is sure to take one away from the busyness and the routine of life and 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.
