 Graceland Christmas(New Release November 2008) When as a young man I first explored Elvis Presley's fabled estate, I was surprised to discover that Graceland is at once grand and surprisingly intimate. Elvis seemed to be an ordinary person with the same hopes and aspirations of anyone else. That is the spirit of Graceland Christmas, my second portrayal of the famous Graceland mansion. Here we see Elvis gathering presents in his role as family Santa. As he unloads gifts from the famous pink Cadillac, we are captivated by the twinkling tree lights that suggest the magic of the season. I hope Graceland Christmas will be part of your Christmas celebration for many years to come. by Thomas Kinkade |
 Morning on the Boulevard(New Release October 2008) The City of Lights inspires many memories for me, both as an artist and as a romantic. Wandering the city of Paris I was greeted by the same boulevards that inspired master impressionists a century ago. I couldn't resist donning my beret and attempting to embody their artistic vision of color and light. In Morning on the Boulevard I create a mood of classic impressionism with a subject befitting the French masters of the past. This is a sunny summer morning that suggests a "boulevard of dreams" from long ago. Thomas Kinkade |
 Christmas in New York(New Release September 2008) Christmas in New York brings us to Rockefeller Center for the lighting of the nation’s most famous Christmas tree. Rockefeller Center becomes a glorious spectacle during the holidays. Colorful skaters glide and spin under the massive, gilded statue of Prometheus. Christmas in New York celebrates both the tree and also holidays in that great city. Thomas Kinkade |
 Snow White Discovers the Cottage(Released August 2008) As a child my imagination was stirred by the great animated films of Walt Disney. Imagine my delight when Disney recently opened their archives to me as I prepared for my first-ever series of images inspired by classic Disney moments. In the first piece of this series, Snow White's world is alive with color. The Prince's castle where Snow White will eventually discover happiness looms majestically in the distance, while a foaming waterfall and fanciful animals remind us that Snow White is at peace with all of nature. Of course, I also included my iconic colorful flowers which festoon the scene with hopeful reminders of spring. I hope that Snow White Discovers the Cottage will be a fairy tale come true for Disney and Kinkade collectors everywhere. Thomas Kinkade |
 Country Living (Released July 08)In the country, wildflowers grow in profusion. To me, these bluebonnets, scotch broom and wild poppies symbolize the abundant blessings of Country Living; these are the tangible pleasures that surround you day in and day out where the air is pure and the sun is bright. This scene might be found any place where the hills and valleys are alive with nature's harmony - the Texas hill country, the Smoky Mountains, the rolling Cascades, or even my native Sierra foothills.

 Summer Breeze (Released July 08)Summer Breeze is a daydream from heaven; more than that, it is a dream of a perfect day. Puffy white clouds dance in the heavens, while white sails shimmer off azure waters. The Impressionist masters were inspired by the splendor of Southern France, now I, as Robert Girrard join their company. Summer Breeze uses broken color and broad strokes to engage the imagination, as it invites you to savor a heavenly daydream. Thomas Kinkade |
 Nascar Thunder (Released May 08)The race is off! In the foreground, 43 mighty race cars thunder by as "The King" himself, Richard Petty, waves the green flag for the start of the 50th Running of the DAYTONA 500®. As I paint furiously, the electricity and spectacle of the moment is almost overwhelming. In my Studio Masterwork release of the "Great American Race" I intend to capture the power of the starting moment, while honoring this one-of-a-kind NASCAR® event. I have always believed that a painting can capture the pageantry and energy of historic events like no other medium, and my goal as I painted NASCAR® THUNDER The 50th Running of the DAYTONA 500® was to document this classic event for race fans everywhere.

 New Horizons (Released April 08)New Horizons, my third Life Values print, celebrates the dramatic expansion of our horizons that follows the act of courage. My New Horizons takes us to a timeless harbor of the 18th Century. This classic ship sets confident sail for distant shores under a dramatic sky, as God's rays pour from the heavens, reminding us that, with Godýs help, our life can be a bold exploration of all that is new and enticing in the world.

 Mountain Memories (Released March 08)As a "mountain kid" I have a special fondness for the quality of mountain living - its simplicity and self-reliance. Nestled between dramatic Smoky Mountain peaks, Gatlinburg, Tennessee, touches my boyhood Mountain Memories. I'm celebrating the town's bicentennial by featuring a romanticized vision of its present, as well as honoring its rustic past in my limited edition portrait of the town - Mountain Memories.

 Fenway Park (Released March 08)Boston's Fenway Park™ is an example of history in the making - it is one of the ultimate shrines of baseball. Fenway Park, the oldest Major League™ ballpark, opened in 1912. The towering Green Monster™ looms over a short left field. I hope the final result captures the energy of the moment. Though there is nothing like being there in person, hopefully my Fenway Park can remind many baseball fans of the historic 2007 World Series™. |
 Yawkey Way (Release March 08)I set up my easel on the famous Yawkey Way, where a statue of the legendary Ted Williams greets Boston Red Sox™ fans getting a head start on game day festivities. Colorful booths selling t-shirts and memorabilia, banners strung across the street, and raucous taverns, establish a carnival atmosphere. Yawkey Way is the first watercolor study we've ever offered as a Limited Edition print. Thomas Kinkade |
 Key West (Release March 08)I have hidden a number of world figures in my Key West print, most notable Ernest Hemingway, who stands in front of Sloppy Joe’s Bar, where he held court during his last years. In the clear air and luminous sky of the Caribbean colors rise to vivid heights. I utilized a broad stroke technique along with much fine detail to capture the festive atmosphere of Key West. Between ten and twenty layers of paint, featuring delicate glazing, create the opalescent hues of the Caribbean. Thomas Kinkade |
