+++++ What Thomas Kinkade said about his Robert Gerrard work +++++
"As a young artist exploring my style, I attempted to find inspiration from the French
Impressionist viewpoint. I created a brush name, "Robert Girrard", that allowed me
to create paintings with the carefree abandon of Monet, Renoir, and the other grand
masters of the Impressionist style.
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."

ABOUT THIS PAINTING
Many of Thomas Kinkades' Girrard subjects are historic in nature while
others are timeless. Among the later are his beautiful countryside and garden scenes. He
applies color with a creative sensitivity few artist, past or present, can match. His
sophisticated use of broken color yields a soft, atmospheric effect to his canvases.
