+++++ And this is what Thomas Kinkade said about this work +++++
"When Nanette and I travel to England, It's as if we're visiting an old friend with many faces, all of them friendly. Recently we were able to get away, just the two of us, to explore a corner of the isles we had never visited before: the Hampshire region in southwest England. It's not often visited by tourists and those who do venture south often do so via what the English call rambling - strapping on a pack, lacing up your boots, and hiking.

Nanette and I are natural-born ramblers and we've been doing it for years, so we were delighted to get to know Hampshire this way. The region is laced with chalk-bottomed streams that overflow with plump brook trout and each bend along the river reveals another timeless village. The flint stones that create the quaint Hampshire cottages and lanes are gathered from the rocky fields that line the valleys.

In my imagination, Cobblestone Bridge is one of those delightful villages discovered on our recent rambles. The scene is filled with glowing sunsets, lamp lit warmth, and inner yearnings of my heart.

The stately old bridge is overgrown with climbing wisteria. The thatched roofs are built up from bundles of locally grown reeds. In the world of Cobblestone Bridge, man and nature come together in a celebration of the glory of being alive. I thank God for the chance to have entered, if only for a week or two, into such scenes of perfect harmony."

Kinkade Trivia
Did you know.....

~~~Thomas Kinkade, Painter of Light, is unquestionably an artist SUPERSTAR. We do not use words like that in the world of Art, but the word is approrpriately used. His intuitive use of light and contrast, and mastery of portraying nature and the serene strike a cord to the soul young and old, male and female.

~~~Thom portrays peace and tranquility in a trouble world. His scenes are far removed from terrorists, suicide bombers and anti-social characters plotting in caves half a world away.

~~~Thom is widely known as a living master in the grand tradition of 19th century American Luminist painting. By using countless layers of underpainting and overglazing, he creates evocative works that capture the fascinating effects of light and the fleeting moods of nature.

~~~Thom travels the world to research his art, convinced that painting on location lends energy, mood and realism to his compositions. These paintings done in one day on the spot at his easle are called "Plein Air"

~~~Thom has travelled extensively to the United Kingdon and the south of England and captured many British homes, bridges, gates. gardens and landscapes.
