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:
High Country Christmas recalls those special Christmas memories that all of us share – of family, Christmas trees, Yule Tide logs, twinkling lights, and special gifts laid out for those we love. And in the stillness of evening, when the sun sets and stars emerge, there is a gentle quiet that descends upon our hearts and homes, that remind us of that first Christmas – the silent night of our Saviour's birth.
