+++++ What Thomas Kinkade said about this work +++++
"As the father of four daughters, I know that nothing is more precious
than the dreams of young girls. My girls - like yours - wish for many
things: from a new doll or dress to a soccer goal. But most of all they
dream of love and of the soul mate in whose eyes love will be reflected.
How sweet it is to imagine the wishes that children, and especially little
girls, have whispered into the mossy depths of this old wishing well. For
all the children who dare to dream, I've created Make a Wish Cottage, a
sanctuary where dreams can come true.
I believe in the power of dreams. After all, I met the girl of my dreams
as a young boy barely into his teens, and my Nanette has taught me to
believe in happy endings. Like Make a Wish Cottage, the home we have
created together is lit by the light of love. The gardens here are lavish
with flowers; bowers of red climbing roses encircle the thatched roof like
a crown. The stream that flows beside the cottage and feeds the well
symbolizes God's abundant blessings. I'm especially fond of the network of
mossy cracks in the flagstone walkway; they recall the pattern of the walk
leading to my own studio. God's glorious sunset reflects subtly in the damp
surface of the stony path."
