Thomas Kinkade Painter of Light Hardcover Art Book

-

Thomas Kinkade known around the world as The Painter of Light is one of the most loved artists of our time. His original oil paintings of cottages, Winter themes, cities and towns are immediately recognized for their portrayal of nature, home and light. There is a "glow" to his work that is second to none. His artwork is so popular that it has been reproduced on limited edition plates, figurine cottages, lithographs, calendars and much more.

This particular hardcover book is a portfolio of 70 of his most popular works. This book is 176 pages full of color photos of his works alongside the descriptions and inspiration behind each work. This book was first printed in 1993 and only available to The Lightpost Publishing club of which I belonged to back in 1993.

The book measures 12 x 9 1/2 and makes for a beautiful coffee table book. This is truly a collectible in it's own right.

This item has been sold. Visit Jo's Collectibles Mercantile for more treasures.

It is an open air complex which I really like. The retail shops and restaurants surround the main complex from the plaza area up to the second and third floors which you can visit by taking either the stairs or escalator on the far sides of the center. The plaza area is complete with some small retail kiosks and a small fountain to cool you during those Summer months. What really fascinated me about this center is all of the intricate artwork as you can see detailed in these photos. The artwork and sculptures are amazing. I walked around for about an hour just snapping shots of the creative artistry. I don't know the history but when you walk up the entrance sta
