link to Trisha Romance paintings:www.trisharomance.com Excerpts from WIKI: Thomas Kinkade (January 19, 1958 — April 6, 2012) was an American painter of popular realistic, bucolic, and idyllic subjects. He is notable for the mass marketing of his work as printed reproductions and other licensed products via The Thomas Kinkade Company. He characterized himself as “Thomas Kinkade, Painter of Light”, a phrase he protected through trademark but one originally attributed to the English master JMW Turner (1775–1851)He also claimed to be “America’s most-collected living artist”. Media Arts Group — the former publicly traded company that licensed, distributed and sold Kinkade’s products — claimed that 1 in 20 homes in the US feature some form of Thomas Kinkade’s art. ( I guess I have SOME FORM of Kinkade’s art because I have this book! OH DEAR! I MUST BE A STUPID AMERICAN! It was suggested on wiki that Kinkade had some problems with alcohol and under the influence he would behave in less than upstanding behaviors by ‘Touching himself; Hmmmmm… ( But it seems to the rage nowadays to be a moral imbecile on YOU PORN..and that is HIP) Pfftt… Kinkade died April 6, 2012 apparently of natural causes.

Thomas Kinkade’s Christmas ( Part 1 )

www.world-wide-art.com “I believe that each of us carries the gift of God’s inner peace in our hearts. And yet, my newest work, A Prayer for Peace, is a poignant reminder that peace in our world is always possible for those who believe and pray. This painting, which re-interprets a classic Dore bible illustration, uses all the resources – human and divine – I could bring to infuse with peace the ancient walled city of Jerusalem. The dramatic figure of a prophet occupies the rocky heights above the city. To my mind, he is a Christ figure, but I have treated him with a deep spirituality that could well be embraced by people of other beliefs. Illuminated by a radiant moon, this holy person prays with all the fervor of his faith, that the warm glow of moonlight can wrap the walled city in a spiritual blanket of serenity. The hope that pervades A Prayer for Peace is a profound reminder that through fervent prayer each of us might find peace – for our soul first and perhaps for our world as well.” – Thomas Kinkade
