1. Thomas Kinkade - Painter of Light, Painter of Peace
Thomas Kinkade has been dubbed the "Painter of Light" due to the fact that most of his work focuses on
light. From lighthouses, to lights in the windows, to lights on the street, to the light of the sun going down
in the evening or coming up in the morning... Kinkade is adequately named.
But have you ever thought about how the paintings make you "feel"? What they actually "do" to your
spirit... to your well-being? Don't they just give you a sense of peace, having a calming nature about
them?
The artist himself has said "And one of the messages I try to constantly get across is slow it down and
enjoy every moment." So while he may not have been given the title of "Painter of Peace", it is obviously
a message he tries to convey in his art.
Where there may be rough seas, the lighthouse presents a feeling of security. Where there may be crime
and evil in the world, the sceneries he portrays provide a mental getaway that can almost seem physical.
A restful country cottage, a cabin in the woods, a chapel at sunrise... each one creates a sense of peace
in the viewing of it.
If you're having a rough day and need to unwind, almost any of Thomas Kinkade paintings will help calm
you down. Here are a few ideas you might consider.
Why not hang a Kinkade on the wall across from your sofa or your bed so you can just sit down or lay
down for a few minutes and let all your tension and frustration dissipate? Just focus on the restful scene
and you'll start to feel the stresses of life flow away and become less pressing.
Or maybe have one of the many Thomas Kinkade prints hanging in the hallway near the door that you
come in each evening after work. Whether you come in through the front door or through the garage, you
can hang a small print near the door. Then just take a few minutes to view the painting, and relax and
unwind before getting further into the house.
So if you need a way to slow down at the end of your hectic day, why not get one of the many affordable
Thomas Kinkade prints and spend just a few minutes enjoying God's beauty that is so eloquently
portrayed by this human artist. You'll be surprised at the sense of peace this can bring to you,
rejuvenating you for the rest of your day or helping you unwind for a restful night of sleep.
