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:
Friendship Cottage brings one of my most extended series to a satisfying close. The new issue began in my imagination as a lovely walkway, honoring the path of beauty I've traveled with my family of Kinkade collectors. I became intrigued by the idea of tucking a cottage away at the end of the path, to symbolize the imaginative home we share.
