"I love lighthouses. The severe, uncompromising life of service lived by lonely lighthouse keepers possesses a special dignity. Poised between the last outcroppings of land and the vast expanse of the ocean, the lighthouse has become a profound symbol of human life, poised as it is between the transitory and the eternal."
- Thomas Kinkade

Declaring Thomas Kinkade personally enhanced this painting


Seaside artworks are one of Thomas Kinkade's most popular subjects. The call of the ocean and crashing waves on rocky cliffs appeal to those who love the sea such as Navy sailors, Merchant Marines, Coast Guard, and anyone who has ever challenged the sea in a boat or ship.

Perseverance ("Life Values I")
Thom experienced a life-threatening experience when out alone in a boat in the San Francisco bay area when a sudden storm flared up and the winds made the currents treacherous. Perseverance is based on his experience when his boat was tossed to and fro.
Perseverance is the first painting in Thomas Kinkade's popular Life Values series and features 8 hidden N's in tribute to his wife, Nanette. The other painting in the Life Values collection is Courage

+++++ And this is what Thomas Kinkade said about this work +++++
"Of course, I've long known that, for many collectors, there is an inspirational quality to my art. I'm often told how much some of my paintings have meant to some of you in times of distress, and I feel blessed to be able to offer my good friends that spiritual comfort.

But I must confess that I've never set out to create a painting that explicitly illustrates a foundational life-value. Until now. "Perseverance," the first in my Life Values collection, is truly something new for me. Call it homily in paint and canvas.

When I began to write about the lessons I've learned in living, I came to understand the connection between my beliefs and my art. 'Perseverance' is inspired by a real moment of doubt and determination. Sailing in a friend's schooner far out beyond Monterey Bay, we found ourselves swallowed in a fog bank, unable to see the shore. I wondered whether, if a storm broke out, we would have the courage and faith to make our way to shore? The storm does strike in 'Perseverance'; thunder crashes, sails billow, waves toss the fragile boat.

We see that the clouds are about to break. The seas are beginning to calm; the sailor's perseverance will soon be rewarded by a return to God's safe haven. Like the dove that flew to Noah as a sign of God's provision, seagulls circle above the boat in my painting as a reminder that safety lay just over the horizon. Perhaps this painting can assure each of us that if we can simply persevere, God's hand of love will soon disperse each storm we face."
