+++++ And this is what Thomas Kinkade said about this work +++++ "Storms must end. The great billowing thunderheads that blot out the sun for a time lose their fury and subside. God's glorious light streams through gaps in the clouds in brilliant beams. That moment, when peace returns to land, sea, and sky is a wonderful affirmation. When storms batter the land and whip the sea to a frenzy, their power seems irresistible. But as light breaks through to illuminate the land and calm the sea, we realize that the power of God's peace is truly beyond measure. That exalted moment is the inspiration for The Light of Peace, the third print in my Seaside Memories collection. These heavenly lights literally take my breath away; I hope this dramatic print has that effect on you. The Light of Peace is also a thrilling allegory of salvation. A lighthouse stands stalwart in the rough seas; it is the guide that men build for each other. But light streaming from heaven is our true guide, for it is from God. One ship sails out of the storm bathed in this holy light. We must seek out The Light of Peace as we pursue our life's voyage to safe harbor." ~~Thomas Kinkade
