+++++ And this is what Thomas Kinkade said about this work +++++ "My Bridges of Inspiration series celebrates what I like to think of as God's divine plan for provision. Each of us, in our daily life, reach obstacles and chasms that can only be bridged by God's miraculous love. The Bridge of Hope is as stable as the massive granite flagstones that form its arch and will stand for as long as the quicksilver brook rolls down from the hills beneath it. Topped by antique alabaster cornices and graced by lavish vining flowers, the stone structure reminds us that hope is at once as solid as rock and as subtle as the fragrance of blossoms on the breeze. A magnificent white dogwood, symbol of the purity of God's grace, shades the bridge. Its over-arching boughs remind us that, while we stand on the Bridge of Hope, we are enshrouded by the loving embrace of our creator." ~~Thomas Kinkade
