People who put my paintings on their walls are putting their values on their walls: faith, family, home, a simpler way of living, the beauty of nature, quiet, tranquillity, peace, joy, hope. They beckon you into this world that provides an alternative to your nightly news broadcast.

  • -- Thomas Kinkade 托马斯·金凯德

把我的画挂在墙上的人是在把他们的价值观挂在墙上:信仰、家庭、家、更简单的生活方式、自然之美、宁静、安宁、和平、快乐、希望。他们召唤你进入这个世界,这个世界为你的晚间新闻广播提供了另一种选择。
