+++++ 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. Impressionism has always seemed to me a most romantic painting style - so emotionally charged, so free.

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."

+++++ What Thomas Kinkade said about this work +++++
"For centuries, stately buildings like these have graced the capitals of Europe each lining the beautiful promenades that characterize city life. As this winter day winds to its inevitable conclusion, evening lights illuminate the shops and attractions along this classic boulevard as each warmly invites passers by with its wares. Couples and families stroll from shop to shop lazily acquiescing to the evening as they bask in its attractions while nestling warmly together. This evening is especially filled with scenes of elegance and imbued with life as day cedes to evening and lights dot the snowy horizon creating an interlude of contrast between light and growing silhouettes. Like the many winter evenings before it, this evening on the promenade punctuates the day with class and beauty.

As I staged this painting, I am reminded of the master impressionists who share my passion for light. Painters like Renoir, Sisley and Monet who made countless studies of the effects of light with the goal to enlighten art by bringing it from its previous dark tones and into the wondrous colors of nature bathed in light. Winter's Dusk is a celebration of the beautiful effects of light on the end of a wintry day and a reminder of the energy and life borne of light!"
