Art Notes:  "The holidays aren't only about the great spiritual issues of our lives.  For most of us, they're as much about the near and dear as they are about the high and holy.  A Holiday Gathering is certainly near and dear to me, and I hope its portrayal of a congenial gathering of family and friends will be near and dear to you as well.  Of all the holiday rituals, the one I prize the most is the coming together of loved ones in shared celebration.  Even if our family circle is small, the Christmas season can become a benchmark of friendship, a time when we pause to savor traditions of comfort and joy.

I find the setting of A Holiday Gathering exquisitely comfortable.  Nestled beneath wintry trees and the luminous sky, the rambling village homes gleam with a warm, welcoming light that spills into the street, inviting one and all to join in the gathering.  Celebrants gather in quiet groups on porches to visit, gossip, perhaps sing a round of favorite Christmas carols.  Vintage cars, Christmas lights and even a dog or two complte the nostalgic scene.  It's what I've come to think of as a "Norman Rockwell Christmas" - warm, welcoming, traditional." - Thomas Kinkade

Interesting Items to Look for in this Painting include:

• The couple happily walking their dog on the the festive affair bears a striking resemblance to Thom and his lovely wife, Nanette.
• Also headed toward the warm, traditional holiday gathering is Norman Rockwell.

Painting Description:  Thomas Kinkade Studios Limited Edition Paintings combine old world craftsmanship with the finest materials and latest production technologies to produce extraordinary canvas artwork. The process captures not only the color and mood of the original painting, but the actual brushwork as well.  The image is reproduced on acid free, museum quality canvas with superior, long-life pigment inks, and then hand stretched on a hardwood frame.  Every piece is hand-retouched by skilled artisans, giving the painting a look almost identical to the artist's on-easel original.  Vibrant colors, rich textures and color tones accurate to the original brushstrokes are the hallmarks of your finished piece.  Each painting comes with a matching Certificate of Authenticity for your permanent records.  Made in the USA.

Edition Information:  There are five limited editions available at the time of a paintings release: Standard Numbered (S/N), Gallery Proof (G/P), Artist Proof (A/P), Publisher Proof (P/P), and Examination Proof, (E/P).  Each limited edition painting is created one at a time, after it is ordered, to ensure uniform color quality.  Once the number of paintings allocated to a specific size and edition are sold out there will be no more made with that same edition criteria.

Notes:

1. The S/N, A/P, P/P, and E/P level canvases are all hand highlighted and numbered, and they look identical when finished.  The only thing that changes per level is the number of copies assigned to each level. When the artwork is first released, the S/N Level is the most affordable option because it has the largest number of copies available.
2. The G/P level is also hand highlighted and numbered and it looks identical to the other levels, except for the very small, unique gold foil Remarque stamped on the front of the image.  This remarque relates uniquely to the subject matter of the painting in some way and changes from painting to painting.  For instance on the Snow White painting the remarque was a gold apple.
3. On the front of every Limited Edition Painting there is a small designation that records the edition purchased (S/N), and the exact number you purchased out of the total edition size (ex. 89/125).  The certificate of authenticity will also record this information.
