R.I.P. Thomas Kinkade

Thomas Kinkade. Painter of Light. Instilled Hope & Inspiration through Artwork. Changed Lives by His Talent.

Thomas Kinkade is one of my favorite painters of all time. Each piece of work is a masterpiece, a scavenger hunt, and a chance to open your Bible and read an inspiring passage. It is a tragedy that he passed away so early in life, but it is a blessing that he left such an inspiring, Christian legacy behind him. I am sad that I was never able to make it to one of his art shows, where he would sign paintings and add touch ups to paintings you already owned. My Aunt and Uncle have one of those. I would be lying if I said I was not jealous. I guess that is one thing my mom and I will never be able to cross off our bucket list. I hope at least that I will one day own one of his paintings, in particular his "Blessings of Christmas", my absolute favorite, which I have included below.
