To all Thomas Kinkade lovers, come join us for an event with the one and only “Painter of Light.” We’re hosting an event with Kinkade next Sunday, Oct. 18th at the Hyatt Regency in Princeton NJ. I’m hoping he hand selects his pilots this time around. To all those who attended our last event, you’ll know what I’m talking about.
This event is a great way to spend a Sunday afternoon. I’m especially excited because I know he’s planning on unveiling a new release. We’ve been told that it’s the first in a new series of Christmas chapels. I love being among the first to see his latest work. Thom will also hand sketch a scene on a canvas which will then be auctioned off.
Thom will probably discuss the Disney Dreams Collection with us. We might even get some insight on what’s to come. Of course, we will have live entertainment, refreshments and plenty of images from our stock available for sale at the event. Get out for the afternoon and join us as we spend some time with the artist that’s filled so many of our homes with his beautiful images.
Tickets are required. We have those, as well as more information, available at our galleries. Be sure to call or stop by soon!!! Only one more week before Thom gets here!

Thomas Kinkade continues the Disney Dreams Collection with yet another classic, “Cinderella Wishes Upon a Dream.” It’s a beautiful piece to add to this wonderful collection. I’d describe it best as wymsical. Kinkade used a soft pallet, but was sure to brighten it up in just the right places. You just can’t stop staring at it, but you have to stare in order to see all of the amazing detail. Look closely and you’ll find all of Cinderella’s friends as well as her evil stepmother and stepsisters. Of course, Kinkade painted Cinderella’s prince by her side, where he belongs. Also included are all of the characters from the previous paintings in the Disney Dreams Collection.
This is a perfect piece of art to depict a wonderful Disney masterpiece. It’s going quickly, just like all the others before it, so don’t miss your chance. I do have to warn you…if you come in to see it, you’re sure to fall in love with it. Don’t just wish for it, make your dream come true. Hurry in to make this great classic part of your collection.
So, sorry it’s been so long since my last blog. Things around the galleries have been a bit hectic, to say the least. To our surprise, the newest image in the “Disney Dreams Collection” has been released. I introduce to you “Tinker Bell and Peter Pan Fly to Neverland.” We weren’t expecting to see this until later in the year, but here it is. So, for those of you that didn’t already know, the third scene in this series is now available for purchase.
What many of you may not know is that it is already sold out. Before this release, Snow White and Pinocchio were the two fastest selling limited editions by Thomas Kinkade. Now, Tinker Bell and Peter Pan steal the show. Once again, it has an amazing amount of detail. I, for one, love the sky. Look closely to find so many of the classic movie’s characters. London is beautifully painted below. There’s a lot of color and detail to this image to make it such a new favorite.
I may sound like a broken record when it comes to this series, but you don’t want to miss your chance to have one of Thomas Kinkade’s best selling limited editions. It’s a great painting to decorate your home with and such a special piece to own. There aren’t many out there, so don’t miss out. Call or stop by our Peddler’s Village or Freehold Galleries to be the next owner of the newest Disney Dreams release. Keep in mind, if you can’t make it in or don’t have time for a phone call, we have now made it possible for you to view and purchase on our website.
If you missed out on any of Kinkade’s other Disney releases, let us know. We’ll do our best to find what your looking for. Remember, we love a challenge. Let us surprise you with what we can do. Hurry up and check out “Tinker Bell and Peter Pan Fly to Neverland.” For all you Disney/Kinkade lovers out there, you’re going to fall in love once again.
I’ve been trying to think of all the ways that I could spend my tax return this year. Things are a bit different now, so at first I felt obligated to spend it practically or even save it. But then, the more I thought about it, I realized that wouldn’t make me happy. We all work so hard for our money and we wait for that one time of year when we can count on a big payday. Why should we work so hard if we can’t enjoy the outcome? We need to have a little bit of fun.
I had a conversation with one of our artists and his wife that really got me thinking. They told me that when he finishes an original they enjoy sitting down together and discussing the piece over a glass of wine. Why not spend some time after a hard day just sitting on the couch and losing yourself in a painting, or two, of your own? Now that’s the life!
The great thing about art is that once you purchase it and bring it home, you get to enjoy it every day from that moment on. What could be better than that? During this so-called “recession,” our galleries have managed to strive and we believe it’s because our collectors want to spend their money on quality products. History has proven that regardless of the economy’s status, art has not only held its value, but continues to increase in value. How’s that for peace of mind?
I think we all deserve to treat ourselves once in a while, and we shouldn’t be made to feel bad about it. This may sound strange, but to me, art is like medicine for the soul. If there’s a painting you’ve had your heart set on for a while, but haven’t been able to justify treating yourself for a change, I say go for it! If you wait too long, it may not be there later. We all need a little joy in our lives, so take a break from responsibility and do something great for yourself. After all, it is the year for change!!!
So, here it is, the moment so many of you have been waiting for. I present the new release of Indy Excitement. For all racing fans, myself included, this is a very exciting release! I loved Nascar Thunder, which he painted to commemorate the 50th running of the Daytona 500, and now we have Indy Excitement to add to the collection.
This great painting celebrates 100 years of racing at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. He was even allowed to take his sketching materials onto the racetrack and set up his easel at the famous brickyard starting line. He sure doesn’t make it easy, does he? How does one pick a favorite painting with so many icredible images he’s published?
I have to tell you, when I look at these paintings, it makes me feel like I’m watching the races again, except I get to see it all day, every day. I can even imagine how it will end and who will conquer the racetrack. The season never quite seems long enough, but now it’s as if it never ends.
What a great idea to combine the art of Thomas Kinkade and the thrill of racing. The “Painter of Light” has done it again and he’s on fire! I continue to look forward to what he’ll come up with next. I hope you enjoy this preview, but believe me, it does no justice to the actual canvas. Come on in to the Peddler’s Village and Freehold Galleries and see for yourself. It truly is an amazing work of art! See you all very soon!
I’ve always loved Thomas Kinkade’s cottage scenes. There are certain things that just say “Kinkade” to me, and cottages are one of those things. As the “Painter of Light,” he has a way of capturing the warmth and serenity of family and home. 
Over the years, he has painted one image for each of his four daughters. Now, we have “Nanette’s Cottage” which is named after his beloved wife. I’m glad to see him go back to the beginning, so to speak. I just love his classic scenes like this. It’s a beautiful painting and I’m sure Nanette is pleased to have it named after her. How inspirational is it to collect art from a man that is so devoted to his family? If you haven’t seen it yet, hurry in and check it out. It’s a new release, but it’s already a favorite among many!
So, how many of you are planning on 
attending the “Rare Sold Out” Event at the Thomas Kinkade North Star Galleries? We’ve had this event before, but never with such a large selection. I’m impressed to see such a variety of sold out canvas, many of which I’ve never seen before. So many of Kinkade’s earlier paintings could be referred to as “classics.” It’s amazing to have the opportunity to display and sell them.
I frequently hear people say “I wish I would’ve bought that when I had the chance.” It’s always in reference to a canvas that’s no longer available from Thomas Kinkade (sold out). We’ve been able to locate so many paintings for people on the secondary market, and sometimes at great prices, but never have I seen so many at once. I guess it comes down to it being a great opportunity.
If you’re interested in attending, the paintings will first be on display at our Freehold Gallery from May 1st - 11th. Any canvas we still have will then be transferred to Peddler’s Village and sold from May 15th - 25th. I already know I’m going to be there. You’re only regret will be if you’re not. Come check out the amazing selection and find out about the incredilbe pricing as well. See you there!

So, how many of you are aware that Thomas Kinkade has painted 
“Snow White Discovers the Cottage” and, most recently, “Pinocchio Wishes Upon a Star” as part of the “Disney Dreams Collection?” This series will include twelve scenes based on various Disney characters we’ve all come to know and love over the years. I was so impressed with Snow White, I couldn’t imagine how he’d possibly paint another character scene as well, but he certainly has.
I fell in love with Pinocchio as soon as I saw it. Then, I found out about all the details that our great “painter of light” incorporated into this one image, and I was amazed. To be able to tell an entire story in one painting is quite an accomplishment. Kinkade really does continue to grow as an artist and manages to impress me more and more with each passing year.
What many of you may not know is that “Snow White Discovers the Cottage” was one of the fastest, if not the fastest selling images that Kinkade has published. We’ve already seen great things from “Pinocchio Wishes Upon a Star” in such a short time. I think the relationship between Kinkade and Disney is a great one, I just wonder why no one thought of it before? We’ve seen both of the castles and now two character scenes. I, for one, can’t wait to see what he comes up with next. If you haven’t been to our Thomas Kinkade North Star Galleries to see all of these incredible paintings, what are you waiting for? Stop in right away to see what so many people are buzzing about. Who knows, you may just fall in love….with the paintings, of course. By the way, feel free to ask your favorite art consultant to borrow a magnifying glass so that you can really see all the detail in Pinocchio, it’s that impressive! I dare you to check it out. We all look forward to seeing you real soon!
