FOR THE LOVE OF MONTEREY PENINSULA, THOMAS KINKADE GALLERIES OF CARMEL & MONTEREY

Join us for a special weekend to honor Thomas Kinkade and his love for the Monterey Peninsula. Thom painted a total of 24 images of our peninsula and this weekend is an opportunity to acquire many of these paintings, and receive paint embellishments by our Master High- lighter, Carol Van Tol. Carol who was trained by Thom in the late 90’s and has been a frequented artist to the Thomas Kinkade galleries for many years.

The Monterey Peninsula is overflowing with the details Thom loves to paint. Carmel-by-the-Sea has been noted as one of Thom’s “favorite coastal village this side of England”. The painting Carmel, Sunset on Ocean (pictured), currently Sold Out by the publisher in most sizes and only now available at the Carmel and Monterey galleries during the special event weekend.

As Thom continued his odyssey as an artist, he was drawn to the historic seaside villages of California. One of the reasons was the coastal air, saturated with mist, lays down a mirror-like film of moisture on streets and walks. One of the Limited Editions featured during the weekend will be Cannery Row Sunset. Painted in 2007 to celebrate Monterey’s Cannery Row’s 50th Anniversary and has reflective play of light and color on the streets that Thom is known for.

We join Dance Kids of Monterey County in their mission of Shaping Strong Minds, Strong Bodies and Strong Leaders through the Discipline and Creativity of Dance. A Thomas Kinkade numbered painting donated by the gallery will be auctioned off where the proceeds go to the support of the Dance Kids of Monterey County.
