THE EDGE OF THE WILDERNESS
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
The Edge of the Wilderness, an epic work created while I was still in my twenties, reflects my early experiments with creating a sublime landscape style all my own. The painting was clearly inspired by early masters of the mythology of the American West, but it also displays the distinctive touches that would define my later works
I placed my frontier camp under a majestic peak on the shores of a sylvan mountain lake. The presence of boats on shore suggests the harmony of man and nature, as it does in many of my mature landscapes. Smoke curls up from the tepee into the autumn sunset much as it will from chimneys of more conventional dwellings. The Edge of the Wilderness is a landmark from the earliest days of my career as the Painter of Light.
