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:
A graceful stillness hovers over a majestic mountain evening. The changing colors of the close of day and the breathless grandeur of a mountain cathedral are reflected in the peaceful waters of a quiet alpine lake. Touches of life abound – the warmth of home from a rustic mountain lodge. A lakeside campfire waiting for the arrival of great conversation and warm laughter. A family of deer delighting in the stillness. It’s a place for inspiration and rest. A place for family, friendship and refreshing the soul. A perfect moment.
