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:
Join us, as we all once again walk down Main Street U.S.A.® listening to the joyful harmonies to the “Dapper Dans” and anticipating a visit to Sleeping Beauty’s Castle, the symbolic heart of this magic kingdom. Once there, it will be on to Fantasyland® and all that Walt Disney envisioned and which now lies beyond. Watch out for my father; he may be still be laughingly lost on “Mister Toad” and heading for his own explosive way out! We joyfully congratulate all of the dreamers who have made Disneyland a reality for these last 60 years and I sincerely thank you and all those who still have a child inside their heart for sharing the light.
