He only stayed there for two years. • When he was five years old, his parents divorced leaving him alone with his mom. • He paints pictures for the Salvation Army.

  4. Life Lessons I think that Thomas Kinkade was influenced by a lot of things. I think that he got his idealism and faith from his mother. Another thing that influenced him is his friend James Gurney, who got him a drawing job doing background art for the movie Fire and Ice. This job probably got him “found”. Glenn Wessels helped him by recommending him to an art school.

When he was five his parents divorced, leaving him with his mother. When I was four my parents divorced, leaving me with my mother.
