Thomas Kinkade's' Gone With the Wind is set to be released in late December 2011. Thomas Kinkade was recruited by Warner Brothers to do a series of Warner Brother paintings. The first was Thomas Kinkade's Dorothy Discovers the Emerald City which was released in 2010. Like the Wizard of Oz and Disney series, Gone with the Wind by Thomas Kinkade features: 3 hat shapes for Rhett, 3 ribbon shapes for Scarlet, Ashley Wilkes, Gerald O’Hara, Mammy, Melanie Hamilton Wilkes, Prissy, Rhett Butler and Scarlett O’Hara
In Thomas Kinkade's words:
“In my painting, Gone With The Wind™, I wanted to capture the central romance but also give a small taste of the gentile old south. Fragrant flowers and lush rolling hills surround Tara, the homestead of the O’Hara family, and serve as quiet sentinels to this way of life. My painting is populated with favorite film characters and rendered in small cinematic vignettes designed to capture all of the drama and nostalgia of this Hollywood spectacular. I truly hope this painting delights all fans of GONE WITH THE WIND™…”
