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:
In Country Christmas Homecoming we see a family returning from just such an endeavor but with a much larger result. A friendly snowman looks on smiling as a father and daughter drag their new found holiday greenery toward their warm and glowing cottage. The mother is waiting with arms open and ready to help move the beautiful "7 footer" into place in the family's front room. All anticipate a night of hanging ornaments and draping tinsel on what will be the centerpiece of all the winter holidays.
