Art Notes

As the evening sun retreats beyond the horizon, a new love is forming somewhere between two beautiful worlds. The artists at Thomas Kinkade Studios have brilliantly captured one of Disney’s most popular and adored films in in one scene entitled, Little Mermaid Falling in Love. Immersed in traditional Kinkadian light, seen piercing through the water and illuminating an entire world teeming with life below the water, many of the animated characters from the movie, both heroes, and villains, are hidden under the sea. The Little Mermaid is a story about a love that triumphs although it has everything working against it and a reminder that true love can overcome any obstacle.
