Hometown Christmas Memories
Art Notes
Early in my career I created Hometown Memories as a nostalgic embodiment of the images of my childhood.
The current offering recreates that painting but with the blaze of holiday light. A freshly fallen snow has rendered the village lane pristine. The luminous radiance dancing upon the ground and the twinkling glow from the holiday decorations reminds us that Christmas is truly the season of lights.
I believe that everyone has a dream hometown buried somewhere in their subconscious. Hometown Christmas Memories recreates the fondest aspects of my childhood hometown dream.

Hello Suzanne,
A quick way to check the value of your painting is right here on our website. Use the search feature in the upper left hand corner 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.
