Hi there,

My friend has what he thinks is an original Thomas Kinkade painting. We just want to know how to go about findind out if its real. And hopefully you lovely people can help. We need to know what the name of it is and what it's worth. I have a picture.

Thank you!

Hi! ChihuahuaMomma

Check this out:
Main Street Celebration - Thomas Kinkade Shop Online (http://www.thomaskinkade.com/magi/servlet/com.asucon.ebiz.catalog.web.tk.CatalogServlet?cata logAction=Product&productId=271&menuNdx=0.16)

With the pix there it doesn't show the "Painter of Light" Logo. Your friends may just be an original Lithograph, with the logo placed there to entice buyers.

I have one reference that TK signed his works on the back.

It doesn't have the seal, that was just the only picture that I can find.

Did you check the link?

Your pix, and the one at the link match, so, it's main st. celebration, and there's prices to the right that the online store is selling them for.

This link has an 800# for consults:
Karen's Thomas Kinkade Art Store (http://www.squidoo.com/thomas-kinkade)

You can contact the store in my first post, they may be able to quote you a price.

In either case be prepared to give an exact description of what you have. If its in a frame they may want you to take it out of the frame to see what's on the back.

Thank you very much.
