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™.

“The tan, ochre, and umber tones of the ancient city required that I premix pools of paint and study the specific areas of architecture with a keen eye before attempting to render them.” – Thomas Kinkade From my many conversations with Thom, I recall his enthusiasm as he talked about Plein Air painting. In Plein Air, or open-air painting, the natural light is always changing as the sun moves across the sky and clouds can play with this natural light. Thom always traveled with a small portable studio and was ready to paint at any time. So early in my career, Thom took the time to explain his methodology and the workings of his portable studio. I recall him explaining how challenging Plein Air painting could be with the changing light and weather. So, after reading his words above it brought to mind our old conversation and how masterfully he could capture a moment of time on canvas. Florence, River Alba is testament to Thomas Kinkade’s masterful artistic technique. – Denise Sanders, Thomas Kinkade Historian
