+++++ What Thomas Kinkade said about this work +++++
"I walk and bicycle along paths that hug the seashore, searching for
wonders, and I’m seldom disappointed. I may see waves crashing onto a rocky
coast or a stalwart lighthouse standing as a lonely sentinel on the shore.
I often discover a quaint little village nestled snugly among the cliffs.
The Village Lighthouse portrays one such discovery I made on a seaside
stroll in England.The town mirrors the shore in many ways; the stalwart
cottages are built of the same granite that rises in cliffs from the
sea.The ancient public house in the village offers shelter, as does the
lighthouse that stands so proudly on the distant headland. A radiant glow
of sun-light bathes the village, touching the magnificent flowering dogwood
and lavish stands of foxgloves and impatiens with light, just as it
illuminates the waves that dance over the face of the ocean.
Seagulls soar over land and sea.Wisps of spray rise from the waves as
plumes of smoke ascend from the chimneys. Land and sea, man and nature are
in perfect harmony here. If you are in harmony with this scene, you may
even sense the rise and fall of waves, and smell the salt sea air."
