Bambi's First Year from 2010 by Thomas Kinkade

These years, Thomas Kinkade paintings are almost the most popular, However, maybe since his artworks are relatively more expensive, more and more oil paintings reproductions rise.

In the Thomas Kinkade Disney collection, "Bambi's First Year" maybe is the most breathtaking subject. For this picture, Thomas Kinkade said a lot.

 "I hope as you look at Bambi cresting the ridge of his domain, you too will feel empowered to live your best life and to count on a season of new beginnings, even when the challenges of life confront you."
                    -- Thomas Kinkade
                                                         
If you look closely, Bambi's self-sacrificing mother can be seen, as a half hidden image upon the distant mountain. Truly, a mother's love, like the spirit of the mighty mountains, will guide a son forever. The central theme of Bambi is the cycle of the seasons and the ongoing flow of life. Truly, water flows through the world like life itself - a timeless reminder that despite the passing seasons, nature thrives and a new generation is born. From the masterpiece Bambi's First Year from 2010 by Thomas Kinkade.

"My goal in this image is to Snow White Discovers the Cottage by Thomas Kinkade imaginatively expand upon what is actually depicted in the feature itself. I have tried to step into the world created by the film and "wander around" in my imagination, searching for new vistas. For the Snow White image I went back to the early design work for the film and discovered many great
concept sketches of the cottage and the surrounding landscape that are largely unknown today - one of which I've shown here. "
