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. |
Block Island
Released in 1998, Block Island is one of the Kinkade Archive Collection pieces which showcases the earlier works of Thom. Block Island was
originally painted in 1989.
-
Block Island is the only piece in the Archive Collection to feature the sea,
a favorite subject of Thom's.
-
Block Island is one of Thom's earliest paintings and his only piece ever to
feature an island other than the famed Catalina Island of Southern California.
-
Block Island Displays the actual Lighthouse on Monhegan Bluffs 12 miles south of Rhode Island.
This early lighthouse painting paved the way for Thom's very popular and more
recent Limited Edition collection, Seaside Memories, all of which feature
lighthouses.
-
Block Island is one of Thom's earliest paintings and his only piece ever to
feature an island other than the famed Catalina Island of Southern California.
-
Block Island was formed about 12,000 years ago when the glacier from the
last Ice Age finally subsided leaving the sandy moraine which now makes up
Long Island, Block Island, Martha's Vineyard and Nantucket.
In prehistoric times, a Native Indian tribe called the Manisses lived here
as hunters.
-
Much like the stoic lighthouse featured in this piece, the lives of those who
run lighthouses can often be lonely and solitary.
Lighthouses are looked upon as great sentries to the sea who shine out a
beacon of hope to weary ships - this feeling of hope is a theme that Thom
means to convey in all of his paintings
