+++++ What Thomas Kinkade said about this work +++++ "If this seems to be the kind of cottage that Hansel and Gretel might have visited, you might not be too far off. Apart from changing the national origin and a few architectural details, this may well pass as a 'gingerbread cottage'. One of my great joys as an artist is recreating, for others to enjoy, the innocent daydreams we all seem to cherish. One of the greatest compliments I can receive from a collector is, 'I wish I could live there.' If you have ever daydreamed of living in a quaint cottage hidden within a fragrant cedar forest, this painting was created for you" ~~Thomas Kinkade
