The Thomas Kinkade Archive Collection

 

	Winter Glen Size and pricing to be announced at release Thomas Kinkade has long been an admirer of the Impressionist masters. More than that, he's quite evidently learned a great deal from them about the nature of vision, about the way the world we see is sculpted by light and shade. As a young painter, Kinkade painted his share of canvases in the Impressionist manner. Indeed, almost every one of his recent paintings owes something to the achievements of Monet and Renoir in conveying the effects of light as it filters through trees and masses of flowers. Winter Glen is one of the most thoroughgoing and successful of the artist's Impressionist experiments. The snow-laden bought are defined by patterns of light and shade; their shadows dance on the brilliantly lit path. Winter Glen remains one of the artist's favorites. As he says, "the effect of show on the delicate branches is a heavenly delight. I think the style suits this subject; I'm delighted that I was a student of the French masters when the snow happened to fall."
