This is my first attempt at coloring a Kinkade. I stamped this in Timber Brown Stazon and watercolored it on 90# hot press watercolor paper with SU! inks. I sprayed the completed image with four light coats of matte sealer. The card is 5" x 7". Thank you for looking!

I have actually seen a TK original canvas and own a few pieces. I was excited to buy the stamps. After looking at many galleries I decided that I generally prefer the monocromatic look with these stamps because they are so hard to color.
You have my compliments as this is one of the best "color" TK cards I have seen. Great Job!

All hail the queen of coloring. I love to color but have strongly resisted the temptation to purchase on of these images because I know I could not get close to what you have just done. WOW this is stunning and AWESOME. So life like I think I hear the birds singing in the background.

MAGNIFICENT! Wow, I thought it was a photograph! Unreal! Your coloring on this is superb! Such attention to detail in this coloring...those bricks....whew! No wonder you sealed it after coloring it! I'd put it in a glass case and/or frame it ; )

Oh Leslie, this is absolutely gorgeous! I can almost smell those roses on the gate they look so real. So much beautiful detail in this. The colors are so vivid, your highlights and shading are stunning. Now this and most of your work are what truly make rubber stamping art for real! I'm so glad you shared this.
