Just out! Probably our most favorite Thomas Kinkade painting we've had in the shop, Carmel, Sunset at Ocean Avenue (1999). This is a beautiful piece, perfect for above the sofa, headboard or that wall that's been needing just the right visual vibe for your home. And as always, it features that glowing light that seems to shine from the inside out from each painting that Kinkade has always been known for.
In Kinkade's own words:
".. this painting is overflowing with the kind of details I love to paint: the old mission bell in its stone portico, the stately Monterey pines that shroud the avenue, and the bustling people – even a dog or two! – that are so much a part of the ambiance of Carmel.
My two older girls peer out of a vintage blue convertible while my two younger daughters make their way across the street, any my wife Nanette pauses beside her bicycle to watch an artist at work – guess who posed for the artist! Even Clint Eastwood had to make an appearance in Carmel, Sunset on Ocean Avenue in order to properly give Carmel’s mayor – at one time – his dues!
My romantic vision of Carmel is also enlivened by many vintage cars and the charming buildings of the seaside town – the lights of which reflect, jewel-like, in streets moistened by the passing of ocean mists. And, of course, a luminous sunset bathes the entire scene in a warm glow, as though a tranquil moment has been frozen in time."
