Mountain Retreat
Art Notes
I am frequently told that my paintings are to many people like glimpses of heaven. With this in mind, my latest work, Mountain Retreat, might be thought of as the kind of heavenly vision that any enthusiast of country living would long for. In Mountain Retreat I share a vision of nature as the Peaceable Kingdom, where man fits harmoniously into a glorious natural setting, and gentle creatures – wild turkeys, deer, and ducks – live without fear.
Mountain Retreat, first work in a new series that bears the same name, is the spiritual heir to my well known print from 2002, “A Peaceful Retreat.” Like the earlier painting, Mountain Retreat explores the nuances of man’s interaction with nature.

We have the Mountain Retreat painting and it says there are 7 N’s hidden in the painting!! We cant even find one, can you tell me where they are in the painting! Its driving me crazy! Haa haa
Hi Janice,
Thomas Kinkade was excellent at hiding the N’s in his paintings! Thank you for being a Thomas Kinkade Collector! We hope this helps:
On the right hand side, there is one created by the intersection of branches. Another one is carved into the tree trunk. There is a red N below the dog’s foot. One is painted into the left (longer) side of the roof. An N is in the rock by the steps. Another one is created by the intersection of the reeds in the middle right part of the painting. The last one is situated sideways in the plank above the awning.
What does the N stand for in the painting?
Hello Linda,
The N’s hidden in some of the images are in honor of his wife, Nanette.
