As well as original art, Kinkade work included reproductions of his numerous paintings in hand-signed lithographs, canvas prints, books and posters, calendars, magazine covers, cards, collector plates and figurines.
His use of light and the unique ability to capture the timeless essence of a fleeting moment whether cottage or countryside, small town America or bustling city have made his work extremely popular the world over.
