More than that, he's quite evidently learned a great deal from them about the nature of vision, about the way the world we see is sculpted by light and shade. As a young painter, Kinkade painted his share of canvases in the Impressionist manner. Indeed, almost every one of his recent paintings owes something to the achievements of Monet and Renoir in conveying the effects of light as it filters through trees and masses of flowers. "One of the most thoroughgoing of my Impressionist experiment displays the snow- laden boughs that are defined by patterns of light and shade; their shadows dance on the brilliantly lit path. The effect of snow on the delicate branches is a heavenly delight. I think the style suits this subject; I'm delighted that I was a student of the French masters when the snow happened to fall. Winter Glen remains one of my favorites."-- Thomas Kinkade
