“Painter of Light” Revisited

This is the time of year that my posts tend to go dormant. The garden is sleeping, and we visit family in the States. But today I am inspired to share with you an incredible chance encounter that happened a few days ago.

I was enjoying a visit and stroll through downtown Fort Worth with my dear friend, Anna.  On our way to a nearby restaurant, we passed an art gallery with many lovely, familiar paintings in the window that confirmed it was a Thomas Kinkade gallery!

For those who remember my original  Painter of Light posting, my obsession with cottages began many years ago with Thomas Kinkade’s beautiful paintings. Imagine my surprise to stumble upon this gallery and to actually meet the late artist’s sister-in-law, Laura Kinkade!  We had a lovely chat, and I told her how we named our cottage after one of his paintings!

It was such a thrill for me, and I’m so grateful to Anna for suggesting that we go in. Here’s
