+++++ And this is what Thomas Kinkade said about this work +++++"The dramatic lighthouse begins my new print series entitled Seaside Memories; but in truth, the subject of Beacon of Hope is not memory, but faith.The lighthouse, which guides ships around rocky shoals to a safe harbor, is a principal emblem of the spiritual life. And I'm very proud to say that my own paintings have been described as Beacons of hope.So Beacon of Hope celebrates not only the longing for salvation, but the power of art to express that aspiration. The print, which is my first on the subject, is not a literal portrait; it is, instead, a product of my artist's imagination, containing the elements of an allegory of faith.A small boat, barely visible on the horizon, rides heavy seas that surge and crash onto a rocky coast; the lighthouse beacon is its sole guide. The keeper's house is a safe haven against all storms - a charming cottage nestled near a flower laden trellis. And, of course, light -- radiant sunset and warm lamp glow -- bathes the rocks, erasing their sharp edges."~~Thomas Kinkade
