“I find that a country lane is a lovely invitation to my imagination.” – Thomas Kinkade

Our founder, Thomas Kinkade, enjoyed numerous countryside rambles over his lifetime, many of which provided inspiration for his art. One of his most memorable walks led to the creation of his iconic Autumn Lane in 1995.

If you were to continue down the country lane Thom originally painted, you might find a stone bridge over a beautiful creek that flows with life affirming water. The soft dappled sunlight streams through the colorful autumnal trees highlighting natures wonders and the beauty of the stones in the bridge. A family of deer gracefully move through the countryside on their daily adventure, as butterflies sweetly flitter in the cool fall air. And you may even spot a fox as you pass over the bridge.

Thomas Kinkade Studios has followed Thom’s lead to ramble down the country lane and is pleased to present Fall at Fox Creek Bridge.

In the very beginning of his artistic career, Thomas Kinkade put his entire life savings into the printing of his first lithograph. Though at the time he was already an acclaimed illustrator, Thom found that he was inspired not by fame and fortune, but by the simple act of painting straight from the heart, putting on canvas the natural wonders and images that moved him most. Throughout his life Thomas Kinkade shared his joy and used his paints in support of hospitals, schools, and humanitarian relief. Though the recipient of countless awards and honors, it was Thom’s profound sense of purpose that his art was not just an accessory, but also a ministry, that continues on as his legacy.
