Summer in Cobblestone Village

Our founder, Thomas Kinkade, was well known for his paintings of cottages, cabins, and lighthouses. He loved to extensively travel, and one of his family’s favorite destinations was the Cotswolds of England. Taking time to stroll through the quaint villages was ideal inspiration to Thom for creating some of his best-known paintings.

The olde weathered stone bridge offers just a bit of shade to the family of ducks lazily traversing the rippling brook that passes through the village. As a sweet fragrance from the summer flowers drifts on the soft breeze, the peacefulness beckons all to stroll through and enjoy Summer in Cobblestone Village.
