@GCR18 I got them at Hobby Lobby. This was the first time for me in the store. Not sure I really like it. My go to is Pier1. But the trees were half off.

Ah. I don't do hobby lobby. I know people love it, but I don't feel that in the local store. I love Pier One. I knew Valerie had trees on free shipping day, but I wasn't looking for trouble and didn't take a good look.

@GCR18 I agree, I don’t think I’ll be doing much Hobby Lobby. Just didn’t get a good vibe in there. I encounter probably five or six people working on the floor and not one of them made eye contact with me or asked if I needed help. And the music in there is terrible like funeral home music.

@SharkE You’re right it is a Kinkade. The Napa Valley collection. When we lived in Santa Rose, Ca we met him and he signed the back of the canvas. He seemed like a very nice person.

Lucky you ! I like all his homey scenes. Back to a gentler time and beautiful landscapes. He was a troubled man, but, had talent.

@SharkE The first one is Lombard street in San Francisco and the second one is a print of Hyde Street and the bay. I was told the reason he always put lights in the windows of the houses he painted was because when he was growing up in Placerville,Ca his mother worked late and he kept a little on for her when she got home.

Nice art, interesting story, also.

I like his country scenes or Victorian homes. Scenes from the past. Think I got some stuff I took off the internet. LOL If I can find I'll post. LOL

I want the ducks, I like them more than anything you showed. Where did you get them? Valerie can you get them for us?

@HLP I’ve probably had the ducks for over fifteen years. I got them from a little shop in Santa Rosa, Ca . The name of the shop is Classic Duck lol. I’m pretty sure the shop is still there.
