I love his winter scenes ... do you have a favorite?

I have this one, Victorian Christmas III hanging above my mantel.

I know his paintings are old timey from a "certain era" but I still think they are classic and beautiful today.

I don't have an image to show here, but one of my favorite Christmas card motifs I gave out one year, was a similar scene as the 2nd one here. It was a snowy scene, Victorian house lit from within, people walking the lantern lit streets outside. It was a nice card set, with good, thick stock envelopes and matching stickers, with the same scene, to seal the envelopes with.

I love his work too, and so does my Loved One, lingering in residential care.

I used to distain his moral and business failures, but the last two years have been a great leveler of ill placed contempt.

I'm enjoying a Kinkade Christmas Clock in my kitchen right now and hoping we'll all at some point have another day of   Kinkade Light to share with one another.

and when the gate opened you see this.  I love it

I like just about everything he paints.  The painter of light.

I am in the middle of rereading his Cape Light series for the umpteenth time.  I always reread the books during the holiday season.  Thank goodness Katherine  Spencer kept the series going after he passed.  I get lost in the books and the cover on them.

He grew up in Placerville CA which is in the foothills of the Sierra Nevadas.  My parents retired there years ago and Kinkade painted quite a few of the local Victorians and we'd be able to find them, this may be one of them.

Mine is over the mantle. A Victorian house with a snowman. I bought it from QVC when he used to be on. It is a favorite of mine.

Oooh...this sounds interesting; I never heard of these.

I just took a peek on Amazon and it looks like a series I might like.

I usually prefer non-fiction, like autobiographies, but occasionally, if I can find some good fiction to, as you say, "get lost in"...I do enjoy it. Sounds like a nice escape for this winter.

@beckyb1012 I'll have to see what order and where to start...do you recommend reading them in order?

The most recent series I discovered and am enjoying is the Mitford Series by Jan Karon, that I started last Spring. I'm on book 5 of that, but had taken a break from it to read a few good autobiographies recently.
