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:
On a recent visit, I was enchanted by the rainbow reflections of sunset in the ocean and by the enchanting, ever watchful pelicans. To celebrate my family's fond attachment to this picturesque harbor, I named one of the trawlers Billy Boy, honoring my father, Bill Kinkade. You'll also spot a Nan and a Merritt among the resting fleet and seven hidden Ns in tribute to my wife and the joy we've shared in this favorite hideaway.
