SWEETHEART RETREAT
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.

TIMELESS HOME DECOR
Love is private, comfortable, comforting, and a cherished space created by small, tender gestures of affection. At once intimate and expansive, private and open, the quaint architecture of a romantic cottage creates the image of the dual nature of love.
Sweetheart Retreat was created with these beautiful thoughts in mind. As Thomas Kinkade did throughout his career, and in most of his paintings, Thomas Kinkade Studios has hidden romantic tributes to our mentor and founder. The brilliant setting sun glistens off the cascading stream bringing the gift of water to the garden, nourishing the vibrant blossoming flowers, as does divine love sustains and supports a loving heart. The graceful curves of the swans’ necks mimic the hidden hearts playfully placed throughout the painting.
Thomas Kinkade Studios presents Sweetheart Retreat as an idyllic place for all lovers to retreat and renew their special connection.
