It is then finished in oil by a master highlighter who applies a special "Remarque" to the back of the canvas. (This is a sketch)Each unique canvas is created under the artist's close supervision. Upon satisfactory completion, the artist hand signs the front of the canvas and a foil stamped gold Renaissance Edition seal is applied to the back. Each Renaissance Edition is designated by the letter R/E after the print number. Renaissance Editions are limited to not more than (usually less) 8% of the Standard Numbered edition. The R/E is TEXTURED to match every brush stroke of Tom's original. Individually hand highlighted by Thom's Master Apprentice under his direct supervision. R/E's are 3 times the Standard Numbered price. Additional Hand Signature by Thomas Kinkade on front of canvas. Renaissance Edition Lable CLICK IMAGE FOR LARGER PHOTO

+++++ And this is what Thomas Kinkade said about this work +++++ "In the most important ways, my life has been a progress. I have been blessed to see my love of paintings grow and flourish, my relations with family and friends deepen and mature. Underlying those worldly satisfactions, I believe, is a spiritual progress. As an artist, I seek out beauty; I revel in the glory of God's creation. Lately, I've come to an understanding. What we call beauty is something more: a glimpse of the divine, a vision of Paradise. That profound truth is the inspiration for my new Visions of Paradise print collection. There are earthly places, living moments that speak to the deepest part of my imagination. They offer a glimpse of Paradise on earth. In 'Stairway to Paradise', a classic stone stairway embraced by climbing roses and shaded by lavish flowering plum and dogwood trees, is such an emblem of the eternal. The stairs lead us up to glowing distant hedges and perhaps to the subject of the next piece in the collection! Won't you join me in stepping through that luminous passage through this painting and others to follow in this series of works? Together we will explore the garden vistas that perhaps can awaken in each of us memories of Eden." ~~Thomas Kinkade
