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:
Thomas Kinkade loved America. From its many beauties to its great freedoms, Thom regularly sought to capture the spirit and heart of our great country on canvas. Nowhere is that seen more clearly than in this painting from the Thomas Kinkade Vault, celebrating the symbol of freedom and democracy, the Statue of Liberty.
