goheikitchen: Thomas Kinkade : When Disney's portraits Into Beautiful Paintings

A LETTER TO PAINTER OF LIGHT
Dear Painter of Light, Mr. Thomas Kinkade
which I believed you're in heaven with your works always shining to be inspiration. I was one of a Disney fans, which living my life to enjoy all the legendary works. I know some fairy tales do not always beautiful in reality, but more than that, the Disney fairy tales always giving us strength, hope and belief in good fortune, dreams and wonders that should be felt by anyone. And my heart was touched, gazing into your works, Mr. Kinkade. I do not know you, never know who you are before, even, perhaps, never see your works that do not related of Disney. But I enjoy painting, and fairness to me because of the blood flowing art from my father who was also a painter. I understood how it feels, weighs, and the complexity of a painting, which is not only good but also realize that more than just that. That, touched my heart to see closely how beautiful your works, especially when you touch the works of Disney with your light. To taste how fun it was when we see the past when watching it in the past, see every details and realized there was lot of stories contained and could be more to told. As encapsulates the entire story in a single canvas. That is amazing. Charming. There are a lot of fantasy, dreams and also lives in it, especially being able to share and strengthen the memory of the works disney ever watched. I'm not sure anyone said only beautiful, but felt in the heart. So thank you for sharing your beautiful light. A light that shine into happiness.

Have you ever heard about this man? and have you ever noticed how wonderful his works, especially his touch on some Disney's works? Let's say such Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin, Pinocchio even into the newest one (well not so old), Tangled which is the rendition version of Rapunzel's story. Some of these beautiful tales were brought into canvas with dazzling, amusing, lovely and really capturing every moments that happened or spotted on that. Like I said on my letter, I don't know about him either. But truly now I becomes a fan. Let's enjoy his touch on Disney with me!

Thomas Kinkade, barangkali banyak yang belum tahu tentang beliau termasuk aku sendiri baru dibilang ngeh ke beliau setelah semakin penasaran pada karya-karyanya yang ada menggabungkan Disney. Berbicara lukisan itu sudah jadi hal yang akrab buatku karena papa sendiri seorang pelukis dan sedikit banyak aku belajar memahami pemikiran yang lebih 'luas' atau istilahnya nggak sekedar melihat kasarnya saja sebuah karya seni terlebih lukisan. Banyak kan ya, yang sekali melihat lukisan abstrak kemudian merasa nggak ngerti, akhirnya lukisan itu dibilang jelek, aneh apalagi kalau bukan penikmat seni dengan mudahnya bilang, apaan tuh? *yang ini sih..cuma bisa geleng-geleng kepala, seni kadang sulit dimengerti begitu saja ya hehe... Melihat karya seorang Thomas Kinkade yang jauh lebih familiar dan colorful, aku rasa umumnya orang akan bilang ini indah (atau mungkin nggak menyadari ini lukisan ya? melainkan posternya disney? ada sih...) karena begitu bewarna, halus dan yang paling membuatku terpesona adalah tetap memberikan ciri khasnya (termasuk di karya-karyanya yang non-disney) dan penggambaran yang kaya akan detail dari karakter-karakternya sampai storyline sehingga kita seakan-akan melihat seluruh isi filmnya dalam satu frame. Terutama untuk karya-karya lama Disney, kita bisa flashback tanpa menonton filmnya sekalipun.
