In The Voice of Creation, visual travelers explore majestic vistas from the serene depths of Crater Lake to the awesome crest of Mount Rainier, from the rustic mountain villages in Guatemala to the luxurious harbors of Catalina. Each remarkable painting, serenaded by Scriptures, quotes, and the artist's personal observations, comes to life as Kinkade records, with color-imbued perspective, creation's lilting narrative.
"Plein-air painting gives me an excuse to get outdoors. It gives me backgrounds and ideas for my paintings, " writes Kinkade. "But most important, it forces me to experience nature on its own terms...I am sitting for hours at a time, soaking it in, observing the details, breathing in the air, and listening to the sounds."« less
