Did you expect original paintings??

Thomas Kinkade is the most collected painter in the world. How many people do you personally know that own original art by someone that famous. Of course they are prints. Many artist sell limited edition prints that are collectable, now I would never buy a painting I hated for investment. You buy it because you love it and it speaks to you, not because you think it will be a great investment.
I once worked in a Kinkade gallery and most of the people that collect his work are wonderful, dear people that love his work. They love what he stands for and his paintings speak to them.
