+++++ What Thomas Kinkade said about his Robert Girrard work +++++ "By using the Girrard brush name, I have achieved absolute artistic freedom. This freedom led to a joyful experimentation that resulted in numerous breakthroughs and advances in my artistic techniques and talents. Accomplished in the creation of mood and atmosphere in landscape, the broadened palette I acquired during the Girrard years allowed new dimensions to be employed in how I handled the subtle beauties of the qualities in a broad variety of contexts." ~~Thomas Kinkade
