+++++ What Thomas Kinkade said about this work +++++ "Lilac Cottage, the fourth issue in the Flower Cottages of Carmel collection is inspired by a real cottage I discovered amidst an overgrown garden in Carmel. When I painted Lilac Cottage, I searched for what I can only call the look of lilac, and found my answer in the shimmering morning mist that seems unique to Californina." ~~Thomas Kinkade
