Date: July 2008, From the Publisher: Thomas Kinkade is America's most collected living artist, a painter-communicator whose tranquil, light-infused paintings bring hope and joy to millions every year. He has earned the Collector Editions Award of Excellence and he has been named the National Association of Limited Edition Dealers' Artist of the Year three times. Thomas Kinkade is the most collected artist in the world. Known as the Painter of Light, he creates glorious paintings from simple inspirations: family, tradition, community, and the beauty and goodness of God's creation. A devout Christian, Thom uses his gift as a vehicle to communicate and spread inherent life-affirming values. These heartwarming motivations are evident in this 2009 Thomas Kinkade calendar. 2009 marks the twenty-fifth anniversary of Thom's first published limited edition artwork. This calendar showcases Thom's all-time favorite twelve images handpicked by the artist himself, accompanied by personal anecdotes describing their inspiration. The calendar includes an individually numbered, collector's keepsake card in a velum envelope and is sold in a beautifully printed folio sleeve.
