Details

Kinkade described the painting in the en:American Forces Information Service press release the photo accompanied. He told the AFIS that it depicted an American servicemember walking into an "ethereal" background. Kinkade created the painting based on a painting he did years earlier, also called "Coming Home," which depicted a soldier coming home for Christmas.

"I took the same soldier from that painting and recreated him in a setting much more ethereal so that it wasn't a specific home because people come home to all sorts of homes. You see the soldier walking into the field of mist, and ... it could ... suggest the homecoming of soldiers who pay the ultimate price overseas or it could be the soldier who is coming home to a future — his future — which is always a mystery."
