DESERT SUNSET
MEET THE ARTIST
Thomas Kinkade
Thomas Kinkade, the Painter of Light™, emphasized simple pleasures and inspirational messages through his art – and the branded products created from that art. From textiles, to collectibles, to music and books, Thom gave credit to a higher power for both the ability and the inspiration to create his paintings. His goal as an artist was to touch people of all faiths, to bring peace and joy into their lives through the images he had created. Thom’s dearest wish had always been that his artwork would be a messenger of hope and inspiration to others – a message to slow down, appreciate the little details in life, and to look for beauty in the world around us. As millions of collectors around the world sit back and enjoy his artwork in their homes, there is no doubt that Thomas Kinkade had indeed achieved his goal of Sharing the Light™.

TIMELESS HOME DECOR
Desert Sunset is the first studio work of a desert vista I have ever painted for publication. At this stage in my career, new subjects or new styles are cause for celebration! The special challenge in painting the arid landscape of the desert is the luminous quality of light, the radiance of color shimmering through the clear air. Looking over the vastness of the desert at sunset I was constantly struck by how the twinkling of the distant lights looked like a glittering necklace of diamonds and pearls upon a velvet cloth. I've long admired the vast vistas, intense silences and almost spiritual solitude of the desert. I'm not sure why it's taken me so long to celebrate those qualities on canvas; I hope to return to them soon.
