Title: Paintings, Posters, Calenders : by Thomas Kinkade
Post by: ideasguy on February 17, 2009, 10:24:31 AM

My colleague has this lovely day by day desktop tear off calender on his desk and I had a look through it this morning.
Very inspirational and idyllic.
Found it was the work of Thomas Kinkade, and found his website:

Be sure to click On-line Galleries then Cottages, Gardens, Estates, Gates etc etc

I commented to my colleague that it would be a shame to throw away the daily pages.
He pulled a handful of loose pages from his drawer!
He obviously agreed!

There are some very good ideas in that collection that could be put into real life.

I wonder what that guys house and garden looks like.  If hes managed to re-create the real thing from his imaginative paintings then I'd like to see that!

It's certainly the sure-fire way to get the ultimate perfect garden though - albeit in virtual reality  :D

Loved Thomas Kinkade's paintings, has inspired me to get the paints out.
