MEET THE ARTIST
Robert Girrard
For a period of six years, Thomas Kinkade painted under the brush name of Robert Girrard. This anonymity allowed him the freedom to experiment in style and subject matter, to explore with palette, brush strokes and broken color. He employed techniques utilized by the French Impressionists – Monet, Manet and Renoir – techniques which have influenced the style that has become world-renowned through The Painter of Light™.

TIMELESS HOME DECOR
The Girrard era garden scenes created under the Kinkade name moved noticeable in the direction of domesticity. Mind you, these were neither planted nor formal gardens, but rather evocations of a natural area of flowers, blossoming trees and color.
