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:
Inspired by Disney’s live action movie, “Cinderella”, Thomas Kinkade Studios portrays the climactic scene when Ella races to leave the palace before her Fairy Godmother’s magic disappears at midnight. Ella loses one of her glass slippers as the Prince chases after her – a clue that will help him later find the love of his life. Clock Strikes Midnight captures the rich hues of the castle and moonlit sky, the beauty of Ella’s magical dress, and the brilliance of the golden carriage that awaits her.
