Light of Hope
Art Notes
The lighthouse is a powerful symbol that has been consistently used in the artwork of Thomas Kinkade. In practical definition these structures are beacons built to safely steer ships and their crew clear of danger during raging storms or in the darkness of night. As the spiritual metaphor so often used by Thom, a lighthouse can be thought of as a guidepost in life, one operating in the face of personal trials and tribulations. And, whether perceived as coming from a friend advising us on our journey or from the Lord giving guidance to our lives, the message of the lighthouse is always the same. “I am here,” it proclaims, “and you are not alone.” We can all take comfort in that simple realization; knowing that even in our darkest hour or most savage life-storm, a light will always be there, shining forth, to show a way to safe harbor.
In Light of Hope this classic Kinkade theme is reverently brought to life by the Thomas Kinkade Studios and in the greatest tradition of the artist himself. The evening sky is ablaze as the day’s last light shines through the ocean’s waves and shimmers across the flowered cape that hosts this silent sentinel. From all of us in the Thomas Kinkade Studios, we hope you enjoy Light of Hope!

Hello Marion,
We do not offer appraisal services here. You can start out right here on our webpage, http://www.thomaskinkade.com, to get a general idea of value for your piece. You would want to use the search feature in the upper left hand corner of our website. Type in the name of your piece. If you find your exact piece, click into it like you want to purchase it. Once in the product page, select your same options as you have on your piece, edition, size and frame. This will give you a general idea of value for your piece. If you can not find you exact piece, it is probably sold out. You can then select another image as long as the other criteria, size, edition, frame, match to get a general idea of value.
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.
