Thomas Kinkade once said, 'I love Carmel. It's a town that seems straight out of an artist's dream, and in a way, it is. The houses are incredibly charming, and when I set up my easel on the boulevards, I'm following in the footsteps of countless painters.' Thom was passionate about Plein Air painting, where the natural light constantly changes as the sun moves and clouds play with it. He always carried a small portable studio, ready to capture the beauty around him at any moment. Carmel-by-the-Sea was a beloved destination for Thom and his family. A short yet scenic drive down the California Coast from his Silicon Valley studio led them to a lively village by the Pacific Ocean. The quaint cottages and boulevards of Carmel provided endless inspiration for his art. Thomas Kinkade's 'Dolores Avenue, Carmel' is one of the many Plein Air masterpieces he created during his coastal travels. This limited edition paper print from Thomas Kinkade Studios is crafted with meticulous attention to detail and color accuracy. Printed on premium 100 lbs. archival paper using fade-resistant inks, each print is individually numbered and comes with a matching Certificate of Authenticity. The framing is also top-notch. We take great care to maintain the integrity of the limited edition. The print is placed between 1/8' shatter-resistant Plexiglas and a rigid foam core backing, ensuring no mounting adhesive touches the art. Finished with a heavy craft paper backing and a coated wire hanger, the framed art not only looks great but also protects the print for years to come. Framing features include premium museum-quality mouldings, shatter-resistant Plexiglas, a heavy craft paper finished back, and a coated wire hanger.
Using your Thomas Kinkade limited edition paper print is easy. First, find a great spot in your home or office to display it. The print looks beautiful on any wall, whether it's in your living room, bedroom, or even your study. When handling the print, make sure to hold it by the edges to avoid getting fingerprints on the surface. To keep it looking its best, avoid placing it in direct sunlight, as this can cause the colors to fade over time. If the print gets a little dusty, you can gently wipe it with a soft, dry cloth. For the framed print, the shatter-resistant Plexiglas provides good protection, but be careful not to scratch it. If you need to clean the frame, use a mild cleaner and a soft cloth. The coated wire hanger makes it easy to hang the art, but make sure the wall hook you use is strong enough to support the weight. With proper care, your Thomas Kinkade print will be a beautiful addition to your collection for many years.
