+++++ What Thomas Kinkade said about this work +++++ Can you find it? HIDE and SEEK. FIND IT IF YOU CAN! As most collectors are aware, Thomas Kinkade often hides whimsical details in his paintings. In his latest masterwork, Lamplight Village, Kinkade has really 'gone to town' with these charming accents throughout the scene. As Kinkade puts it, "In this painting I wanted to create a scene with a great sense of discovery to it - as though you could stroll over that stone bridge and wander around the village finding things of interest everywhere you looked. As you 'wander around' this charming setting, keep your eyes open for the following small of hidden details: An artist with an easel, twelve ducks, three cats, a mouse (a la David Winter), a workman on a roof, seven hidden 'N's', Kinkade's daughter Chandler (with a 'C' on her clothing), Kinkade's daughter Merritt (with an 'M' on her clothing), four dogs, nine lamp posts, two hearts with initials, two hearts with no initials, ten smoking chimneys, a person in a boat, four birds in trees, one perfect rose, a painter's palette, a man with a pipe (perhaps Norman Rockwell), and an owl." ~~Thomas Kinkade
