"PAINTER OF LIGHT"

A Thomas Kinkade Tribute

(1958-2012)

  The art world has lost another legend on April 6 of this year. Here (below) are some of the incredible paints he's done that made him so beloved. Known for his depliction with tranquil scenes included lush landscaping, cottages, churches, and streams running nearby. Many contain images from Bible passages. 

In 2002, he told the media that he's "a warrior for light",   in reference to his technical skills, but also the medieval practice of using light to symbolize the divine. "With whatever talent and resources I have," Kinkade said, " I'm trying to bring light to penetrate the darkness many people feel." This post is not about sorrow, it's about joy knowing that another soldier has gone home. Thanks, Mr. Kinkade, for allowing the Light to shine through you.
