This stately old Victorian stands on a prominent street corner in my hometown. I decided to turn the clock back to a Christmas Eve around the turn of the century and paint the house all lit up for open house festivities. The scene seemed so nostalgic that I couldn't resist painting Norman Rockwell in the lower left hand corner." Condition (Please see grading guide below) Overall: Very Good Content: Very Good Frame: Very Good (Dust cover intact; hanging hardware attached; a few very small dents and scratches on the frame only visible at close viewing distance) Artist Bio Thomas Kinkade (1958 - 2012), "the Painter of Light™", emphasized simple pleasures and inspirational messages through his art and the branded products created from that art. In the very beginning of his artistic career, Thomas Kinkade put his entire life savings into the printing of his first lithograph. Though at the time he was already an acclaimed illustrator, Thom found that he was inspired not by fame and fortune, but by the simple act of painting straight from the heart, putting on canvas the natural wonders and images that moved him most. Throughout his life Thomas Kinkade shared his joy and used his paints in support of hospitals, schools, and humanitarian relief. Though the recipient of countless awards and honors, it was Thom’s profound sense of purpose that his art was not just an accessory, but also a ministry, that continues on as his legacy. 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.
