Available in the following sizes:

"Some believe that artists are touched by a spark of
divine fire. I have always felt that true inspiration is a gift from our
Creator, and have often heard stories from collectors who have found renewed
strength, hope or comfort from something I have created. In that sense
perhaps all artists, whether musician, painter, or poet can at times be a
vessel of God’s profound mercy and love. If this is true, then inspiration
can be thought of as both spiritual and deeply human. The Guiding Light,
first in my Lights of Inspiration series, speaks to the dual nature of
inspiration. This brilliant sunset penetrates the swirling storms that
sometimes afflict our soul, reminding us that the deep emotions of hope and
faith are a truer reflection of our spiritual nature than any doubt or
turmoil can be. This radiant light works in concert with the towering clouds
to create a sunset that is among the most luminous and dramatic I have ever
attempted to capture on canvas. The Guiding Light introduces a compositional
format that is new for me.
The long, narrow canvas is perfect for those settings in the home that call
for a panoramic vision. As I worked, I envisioned this handsome piece
over a comfortable sofa or above a rustic fireplace or in some other special
setting. Surely, this dramatic panorama might carry the viewer’s
imagination to sweeping distant vistas. The low horizon line also allows me
to accentuate the drama of the sunset above. Certainly the one word I would
use to summarize my newest work would be: inspiration!"

Coming this February is Thomas Kinkade's The Guiding
Light, a bold new piece that defies the world of art's standard. The first
in Thom’s newest series, Lights of Inspiration, this release was painted in
a 1:2 aspect ratio, creating a wonderful vista with Guiding Light that
creates a grand and very dramatic panoramic vision in the home. The Guiding
Light can be found proudly hanging in any Art of the South Gallery during
the month of February. For more information or to reserve your very own The
Guiding Light, just contact your Art of the South Consultant or call any of
our galleries for details.
