3,550 / 4850 limited edition. It is beautifully framed with clear UV plexiglass protecting the lithograph. William Thomas Kinkade III (January 19, 1958 April 6, 2012) was an American painter of popular realistic, pastoral, and idyllic subjects. He is notable for his success, during his lifetime, with the mass marketing of his work as printed reproductions and other licensed products via the Thomas Kinkade Company. According to Kinkade's company, one in every twenty American homes owns a copy of one of his paintings. He described himself as a "Painter of Light", a phrase he protected through trademark, but which was originally used hundreds of years ago to describe the English artist J. M. W. Turner (17751851). "Carmel, Sunset on Ocean Avenue is that long awaited painting! Like the first piece, 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. Even the members of my immediate family managed to find their way into the painting. My two older girls peer out of a vintage blue convertible while my two younger daughters make their way across the street and my wife Nanette pauses beside her bicycle to watch an artist at work. (Guess who posed for the artist!). "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." --- Thomas Kinkade.
