MEET THE ARTIST

Thomas Kinkade Studios

Thomas Kinkade, the famed “Painter of Light,” loved to share his passion for art and his creative process with other artists throughout his career. Thom believed in supporting artist development and exchanged ideas with artists. Through this collaborative environment, Thom passed down his methods and imparted the techniques, concepts and vision for his signature Kinkadian style.Today, the artists of the Thomas Kinkade Studios apply many of the same techniques created and used by Thom during his lifetime; from sketching to digital and oil brushwork, to image recapture and his use of light. Over time, these mastered skills have evolved into a Kinkadian style of art adored by art collectors around the world.

After watching The Lion King several times, pouring over hundreds of stills from the film and researching the back story, Thomas Kinkade Studios set out to follow Thom’s vision of the narrative panorama, telling the whole story in a single painting as he did. In bringing this second painting of The Lion King to life, we created a theatrical setting, much like a feature film on just one stage. Our vision was to have you view this story from the jungle mountains with Pride Rock in the distant background. Simba appears in three stages of his life; as a cub playing with Nala, as a young adult finding love, and in the distance presenting his own son back on Pride Rock. We hope you enjoy Disney The Lion King – Return to Pride Rock as much as we did create it.

Key Points

• The eerie and disturbing elephant graveyard where Simba and Nala were rescued from the Hyenas is seen casting its shadow over the land. • In the distance, the stampede that led to Simba’s exile is starting its descent down the ravine. • Scar surveys the scene from high up upon the cliffside. • Timon and Pumbaa are jolly and happy as they feast on their favorite delicacies. • Thomas Kinkade almost always used flowers from the location he was painting, in this piece all the vegetation is native to Africa.
