A Quiet Evening
Art Notes
The heart has its special places: quiet retreats, fragrant with the sweet perfume of flowers, bathed in the romantic light of sunset, soothed by the music of a laughing brook and droning bees. Places made possible by the precious gift of love.

I have this canvas and was wondering how I could find out it’s worth.
Hello Roseann,
You can get a quick idea of value by using the search feature on the website and search for the title, size, and edition of your painting. If your painting is not on line, you can find a similar image in the same size and edition and that would be the value of your painting. Our prices are not image specific, they are based on size edition and frame.
If you need a formal appraisal for your insurance company, there are many factors that are part of an art appraisal especially when a painting is sold out, including edition, size, frame choice, condition, image availability, and the local art market. The best source for assistance in obtaining a third-party appraisal is a local appraisal firm in your area. Local appraising firms understand the secondary art market in your region and have the ability to give you the best estimate of value for your Thomas Kinkade Limited Edition Artwork.

I have 2 canvas framed Thomas Kinkade pictures I want to sell.Both have certificates.
Hello Greg,
As a publisher, Thomas Kinkade Studios only sells and distributes new artwork. However, it may be of help to search for a Fine Art Auction Company in your area. These companies put paintings in their art auctions, and charge you a commission for selling. Another route you may wish to take is putting an ad in a local newspaper to sell your artwork privately. Or, you may wish to simply list it on eBay. Please let me know if you have any further questions.

I NEED TO GET AN APPRAISAL FOR INSURANCE FOR “A QUIET EVENING” I AM IN THE LAS VEGAS, NV AREA PLEASE ADVISE.
Hello Diana,
We do not have any specific appraisers we recommend. You can reach out to an art gallery near you and see if they have suggestions. Or do a Google search for art appraisers in the Las Vegas area.
Kate
Was “A Quiet Evening” ever offered in a paper edition?
Hello Sandra,
From the information that I can find, yes it was but it is sold out.
Kate
How much is the original painting of A quite evening costs?
Hello Mary,
I’m sorry, but I do not have access to that information. We do not sell original artworks that were done by Thomas Kinkade. You can check out the originals that we do have for sale that were done by our studio artists to get a general idea of what an original Thomas Kinkade piece might be sold for, https://thomaskinkade.com/product-category/rare-and-unique/original-art/ A Thomas Kinkade Studios Gallery that has one of the originals for sale would be the best place to ask what they would cost. You can check our gallery locator page https://thomaskinkade.com/customer-service/galleries/ and see if a gallery near you has one that is available for purchase.

I have a chance to get A Quiet Evening 24 X 30 with a COA. It says it is DNA Matrix. I’m not sure what that means, and does that increase the value?
Hello Teri,
There are some pieces out there that Thom released where his DNA is in the ink he used to sign the artwork. It sounds like you may have come across one of those pieces. I’m not an art appraiser, so I can’t say for sure, but since he passed away there is no more artwork being made with his DNA in it so I would think it would be more valuable. Again, I’m not an art appraiser so please take this with a grain of salt. If possible, if it was me, I would take the piece to an art appraiser and have an appraisal done to see that the value of the piece is and you could ask them about having the DNA matrix as well and if that adds value or not to it.
