'''Thomas Kinkade''' is an American artist who has enjoyed fabulous commercial success. His most famous paintings depict imaginary English countryside scenes with thatched cottages, with a warm glow of light coming from the windows.
Kinkade calls himself "Painter of Light," a phrase which he has registered as a trademark. The phrase has a double meaning. It refers to his characteristic use of [[chiaroscuro]] to convey the impression that his streetlamps and windows are actually glowing. But it also refers to his identity as a Christian. According to his website, "Kinkade uses his gift as a vehicle to communicate and spread inherent life-affirming values."
