On coastlines around the world you will find lighthouses that cast a strong reliable beacon to guide sailors to the safety of their home port. Thomas Kinkade Studios proudly presents Returning Home, a painting that reflects the end of a journey, be it a short or long passage of time, and the feeling of joy that comes with reuniting with family and friends.
On any voyage, true happiness is only fully achieved when one finally returns home.
