+++++ What Thomas Kinkade said about this work +++++
"The heart has its special places: quiet retreats, fragrant with the sweet
perfume of flowers, bathed in the romantic light of sunset, soothed by the
music of a laughing brook and droning bees. Places made possible by the
precious gift of love. I compose my quatrain to remind myself that two people
who care for each other can create a very private world, colored by shared
memory. Truly a place in the heart. The thought delights me. It has inspired
me to create a three-piece print collection celebrating the creative power of
love. Each painting illuminates a line in the poem - "A Quiet Evening". "A
Peaceful Time," "A Life Worth Living." We begin with the passionate fire of
sunset, the graceful shelter of a magnificent weeping willow beside a quaint
stone cottage, the Edenic tranquility of a pristine stream flowing through a
lavish flower garden. Here is A Quiet Evening born in the hearts of lovers.- "
