+++++ What Thomas Kinkade said about this work +++++ "Like many others, I enjoy the look of charming two-story homes such as this, with shutters on the windows, flower-lined walkways, and a shade tree towering over the front lawn. As I worked on this painting, Imagined my own family living in this beautiful setting, with wicker chairs for my wife, Nanette, a swing for my three year old daughter, Merritt, and even a teddy bear beneath the tree for my toddler daughter, Chandler!" ~~Thomas Kinkade
