This is a simple demonstration of the Thomas Kinkade light dimming effect that can be seen in person at any local Thomas Kinkade Gallery. The effect, which is a trademark of almost all Thomas Kinkade paintings occurs when you slowly bring down the light illuminating the painting. The effect really feels as if the sun is setting inside of the painting, it's amazing! The sky begins to illuminate, sun patches on the ground really stand out and the windows of cottages seem glow brilliantly as if somebody’s at home. Is it an optical illusion or magic? Visit your local Thomas Kinkade Gallery and let us know what you think.
About the Image:
Of all the great memories and current impressions I have of this magical time of year, none are more profound than those tied to the era of Charles Dickens. The crisp winter weather with the snap of Jack Frost in the air, the windows glowing welcome, the excitement of children wondering what gifts Santa might bring, and the strong sense of community gained from sharing the joy of the season…I love this time of year.
