Pocahontas

As the evening sun retreats beyond the ship, Susan Constant, and the horizon, a new connection is forming between two distant worlds. The artists at Thomas Kinkade Studios have brilliantly captured one of Disney’s most successful box office hits in one scene entitled, “Pocahontas.”

Immersed in traditional Kinkadian light reflecting off the water and illuminating the entire scene, many of the animated characters from the movie are scattered throughout this narrative panorama.

The extraordinary life and indomitable spirit of a truly remarkable Native American heroine is celebrated through the artistry and storytelling magic of this painting. “Pocahontas” is a compelling tale of a brave, compassionate young woman who loves nature and “listens with her heart” to help her choose which path to follow.
