About the Art: For Thomas Kinkade, A WINTER'S COTTAGE represents “the simple life” and is a great example of Thom’s Impressionistic painting technique. In the painting,Thom's wife Nanette and his oldest daughter, Merritt, are posed in the snowy yard of A WINTER'S COTTAGE. A WINTER’S COTTAGE is being released in an SN edition size of 695, in each size. A WINTER’S COTTAGE is one of the beautiful collection of Impressionistic images in Thom's Robert Girrard Collection. Thomas Kinkade painted under the brush name of Robert Girrard from 1984-1989. These valued and collectible images are released in very limited quantities.
From Thom: As I look back over my development as an artist, I come to realize how important the trip Nanette and I and our two oldest girls made to the English Cotswolds early in our marriage really was to my self-discovery. The rustic charm of the thatch-roofed cottages like A Winter’s Cottage, the solidity of their massive stone walls, the way a golden, welcoming light poured through their ample windows — it all came to represent “the simple life” for me, long before I began to use that phrase to express my philosophy of living I varied my painting technique on that trip as well. I’ve come to recognize that A Winter’s Cottage is one of my early examples of my Impressionist style. It may even be said that my Impressionist persona, Robert Girrard, made his first appearance in the English countryside. I painted Nanette and Merritt posing in the snowy yard. They are emboldened by the nearby A Winter’s Cottage to face the bracing challenge of the storm. The comfort and security of family life allow one to embrace the tests the world offers with courage and spirit.
