Image removed from public review package. Local review only · not public no-info · 79188317largeviewer51.pngOn April 6, Thomas Kinkade, the Painter of Light, died at his home in Los Gatos, California at the age of 54.

He was very popular in America and we in Russia undoubtedly loved his work. A large number of paintings with lighthouses in a style that inspired hope and joy. Kincaid's painting technique itself stood out clearly among contemporary artists. His technique was called arrogant, idyllic, but in our crazy world we so often lacked this idyll.

Eternal memory to a brilliant artist.
