"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

Declaring Thomas Kinkade personally enhanced this painting
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

+++++ And this is what Thomas Kinkade said about this work +++++
"Block Island is a study of resolute courage and dignity. The house stands
alone, severe, crisp of line. It supports the proud light tower. A single
antique auto stands in its fenced yard; a solitary figure, back turned to the
viewer, strides toward the comfort and consolation that the house offers. The
sea has eroded the rocky coast; in centuries to come, the house itself will
surely fall before the waters inexorable advance. A solitary ship sets out on
its voyage to an unknowable destination, led away from danger by the stoic
resident of Block Island.
"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."
