Thomas Kinkade once said, 'I am enchanted with the idea of a romantic hideaway surrounded by blossoming flowers.' Love is a private and cozy haven, crafted through gentle and tender gestures. The charming architecture of a romantic cottage perfectly captures the dual nature of love - both intimate and expansive. With these beautiful concepts in mind, Thomas Kinkade Studios created the 'Sweetheart Retreat'. Just as Thomas Kinkade did in his career and most of his paintings, the studio has hidden romantic tributes to our mentor and founder in this piece. The warm glow of the setting sun sparkles on the flowing stream, bringing life - giving water to the garden and nourishing the colorful blossoms, much like true love sustains and supports a loving heart. The elegant curves of the swans' necks mirror the hidden hearts playfully scattered throughout the painting. Thomas Kinkade Studios offers this 'Sweetheart Retreat' as an ideal place for all lovers to reconnect and rekindle their special bond. This is a Limited Edition Paper Print. The studio pays meticulous attention to detail and color accuracy, ensuring these are the finest and most sought - after paper prints. Each print is made on high - quality 100 - lb archival paper using long - lasting, fade - resistant inks. Every reproduction is individually numbered and comes with a matching Certificate of Authenticity. When it comes to framing, we strive to maintain the integrity of the Limited Edition. The print is placed between 1/8 - inch shatter - resistant Plexiglas and a rigid foam core backing, ensuring no mounting adhesive touches the art. It's finished with a heavy craft paper backing and a coated wire hanger. This not only makes the framed art look beautiful but also protects it for years. The framing features premium museum - quality mouldings, shatter - resistant Plexiglas, a heavy craft paper back, and a coated wire hanger. The print itself is on premium 100 - lb paper, uses long - life pigment inks that outperform regular press inks, has an applied edition number, and comes with an individually numbered Certificate of Authenticity matched to the art piece.
Using your Sweetheart Retreat Limited Edition Paper Print is easy. First, find a great spot in your home, like a bedroom or living room, to hang it. You can use the coated wire hanger on the back for easy hanging. When you're handling the print, make sure your hands are clean to avoid getting dirt or oils on it. Keep it away from direct sunlight as this can cause the colors to fade over time. If the print gets dusty, you can gently use a soft, dry cloth to wipe it. For the frame, you can use a mild glass cleaner on the shatter - resistant Plexiglas, but be careful not to get any liquid on the print. Just wipe the Plexiglas gently with a clean cloth. With proper care, your print will stay beautiful for many years.
