Thomas Kinkade's Inspiration Art Gallery
Memphis - Garden Manor
The English Manor House was a long-time favorite subject of Thomas Kinkade's. He
was charmed by the stateliness of the architecture and romanced by what he
imagined life was like for the couple who lived there. The bright and glowing
windows spoke of family and a loving togetherness that gave special meaning to the
passing of each day. The flower gardens surrounding the manor are so lovingly cared
for giving evidence to the nurturing hands that tend to the home. Thom loved
traveling to England and with each trip he would return with a trove of ideas that he
hoped to translate into a masterwork in oil. In addition to Thom's travels, the
inspiration behind his Mansions in Paradise series came from the Biblical verse, John
14:2, "in my Father's house are many mansions…"
Garden Manor, the second release in this series and a companion to Thom's popular
painting Lakeside Manor, is an example of one such inspiration drawn from Thom's
archive. One can almost smell the flowers and feel the brisk air as you allow your
eyes to stroll up the grassy path to the inviting door of this exquisite home. The
splashing of the water from the fountain entertains your ear while the anticipation
grows for the glorious gathering of family and friends waiting just beyond the
threshold. Join us at Garden Manor and celebrate life as God intended, serenely
happy and wrapped in the comforting surroundings of a life well lived. To all those
who loved Thomas and his work, I want to thank you all for sharing the light.
