Art Notes

Thomas Kinkade was a life-long admirer of Walt Disney and the wonderful characters he created. While Thom re-created many of his favorite Disney stories on canvas, he also envisioned classic Disney characters set within traditional Kinkade images. In these paintings from Thomas Kinkade Studios, his dream is proudly brought to life.

Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse join hands on Sweetheart Bridge. Has Mickey come courting to Minnie’s home? Surrounded by a flower-filled countryside, love appears to be in the air.

As in life, love is the bridge that brings people together and turns two lives into one. We hope you are reminded of the gift of love in Mickey and Minnie – Sweetheart Bridge.
