"I love lighthouses. The severe, uncompromising life of service lived by lonely
lighthouse keepers possesses a special dignity. Poised between the last
outcroppings of land and the vast expanse of the ocean, the lighthouse has
become a profound symbol of human life, poised as it is between the transitory
and the eternal." - Thomas Kinkade

Seaside artworks are one of Thomas Kinkade's most popular subjects. The call of the
ocean and crashing waves on rocky cliffs appeal to those who love the sea
such as Navy sailors, Merchant Marines, Coast Guard, and anyone who has ever challenged
the sea in a boat or ship. |

+++++ And this is what Thomas Kinkade said about this work +++++
"I believe that God speaks to His faithful in many voices -- some intended for
the ear, some for the eye, all for the heart. As a painter, my role is to
interpret and clarify allegorical scenes that are rich with meaning. Clearing
Storms is such a symbolic scene, charged with a message of hope that can give
us the fortitude to go on.
Storms -- dark, brooding, terrifying -- are a part of all our lives. When
we're in the grip of a storm, we may feel overwhelmed, powerless, abandoned
by God. The meaning of Clearing Storms is that God's love is eternal, and,
because of that, the dart times always pass. The power of the waning storm is
still evident in the wild, turbulent sea. But up in the sky, God's light has
touched the clouds with myriad colors, transforming them into harbingers of
hope, and overwhelming man's feeble attempt to light the darkness with the
lighthouse.
A timid stream, which suggests to me an individual human life, makes its way
to the great ocean. A gazebo provides refuge for the lighthouse keeper when
storms have passed, where he can contemplate the wonder of it all in one of
my favorite ways -- drinking in the warmth from a cup of hot tea."

~~ Thom has said this about Lighthouses ~~
"I love lighthouses. The severe, uncompromising life of service lived by
lonely lighthouse keepers possesses a special dignity. Poised between the
last outcroppings of land and the vast expanse of the ocean, the lighthouse
has become a profound symbol of human life, poised as it is between the
transitory and the eternal." - Thomas Kinkade

Ocracoke Light Station
~~~The Lighthouse depicted in "Clearing Storms" most closely resembles
another North Carolina outer banks light ~~Ocracoke Light Station.
~~~The 1823 Ocracoke tower is currently the oldest operating lighthouse on NC
coast. (Bald Head is five years older but no longer an active aid to
navigation).
~~~The tower is 65 feet tall, and it is 75 feet to focal plane at the center
of the lens.It has a fixed white light from a 4th order Fresnel lens.
~~~Keepers once boiled a concoction of glue and rice in huge vats and quickly
applied the hot mixture as a protective coating to the brick."
~~~The first lighthouse at Ocracoke Inlet was the 1798 Shellcastle Rock
lighthouse located on an island in the inlet. In such a location -
defenseless against storms, tides, and winds - the lighthouse was often
inoperative when needed most. Thus, in 1823, it was replaced by this light,
the Nation's second oldest still in use. The non-rotating light is 75 feet
above sea level an can be seen a full 360 degrees to a distance of fourteen
miles. The walls are five feet thick at the base and are made of brick with
mortar surface
