+++++ What Thomas Kinkade said about this work +++++
"When as a young man I first explored Elvis Presley’s fabled estate, I
was surprised to discover that Graceland is at once grand and
surprisingly intimate. Elvis seemed to be an ordinary person with the
same hopes and aspirations of anyone else.
That is the spirit of Graceland Christmas, my second portrayal of the
famous Graceland mansion. Here we see Elvis gathering presents in his
role as family Santa. As he unloads gifts from the famous pink
Cadillac, we are captivated by the twinkling tree lights that suggest
the magic of the season. Colorful Christmas trees line the drive and
the amber sunset suggests a frosty evening ahead. The glow from the
porch and windows reminds us that all families, even that of the King
of Rock’n Roll, will join joyously tonight to celebrate the season. I
hope Graceland Christmas will be part of your Christmas celebration
for many years to come."
