The Good Life
Art Notes
In The Good Life, third and final piece in my Beginning of a Perfect Evening collection, I have in effect set up my easel in that imagined space where God’s bounty is manifest. I identify with the fisherman, who lives in a profound harmony with nature and receives its gifts with humble gratitude. Towering peaks embrace the valley. I imagine that my wife and daughters are safely tucked away within, enjoying the pleasures of domesticity, as they await my return with the evening catch. Alone with my family, safe, peacefully savoring the glories of God’s creation – that is my image of The Good Life. I invite you to enjoy it with me.

Hello James,
We do not offer appraisal services here. A quick way to check the value of your painting is to start right here our website http://www.thomaskinkade.com and search for the title, size, and edition of your painting. There is a search box in the upper left hand corner of the page, green in color. Type in the name of your piece here. If you find your exact piece, click into it like you want to purchase the piece. You would then need to select the same options (size, edition, media, frame) of your piece. If you do not find your exact piece, it might be sold out. You can then select another image (the prices are determined by size, edition and frame not the image) to get a general idea of value for your piece. With your piece being signed, our website does not take that into account as this would be the price we sell a brand new piece for today. An art appraiser would be able to give you the best value for your piece.
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.
