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:
Thom was an American and was devoted to the ideals of this country. It is also true that to Thom, nothing more stirred his patriot’s heart then the 31 simple words of our country’s Pledge of Allegiance. He first learned this oath as a child in our tiny country schoolhouse staring up at the bright stars and broad stripes of a flag gently wafting in a cool fall breeze. And Thom truly took those words as his own, never forgetting them or their profound meaning of commitment. Indeed, the pledge so impassioned his artistic motive that eventually it inspired him to put pencil to paper. Join us as we translate Thom’s vision of the American Pledge of Allegiance and, indeed, of his United States on a journey into the heart and soul of the American people.
