+++++ 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." ~~Thomas Kinkade

+++++ What Thomas Kinkade said about this work +++++ "In Rainy Dusk, Paris I paint on a busy promenade where the residue of a light rain enlivens the colors of store-fronts and streetlamps. In some ways, when I put on my beret and paint as Robert Girrard, I feel transported to the Impressionist era. Perhaps that is why the nostalgic costumes and vintage cars seem so very right. My brush moves with an energy that reflects the life of the City of Lights." ~~Thomas Kinkade
