We walked into this gallery while wandering around Pismo Beach just to look at the galleries. My…read morewife was overcome with emotion upon seeing the "Walk of Faith" limited edition print that was displayed. We left after touring the gallery with the owner, Esther. She is extremely knowledgeable about Thomas Kinkade art and shared a lot of personal information about him that came from her, and her husband's, personal relationship with the artist prior to his death. We could not get that picture out of our minds. So, after much discussion, we went back and purchased the 24" x 36" print with the frame. The print is still there as we elected to wait until an artist "textured", or highlighted it to look more like an original painting. Normally a $300 fee is charged for that, but Esther informed us that they had an artist coming in November who would do it free, with us in attendance, so we elected to wait until then to pick up our print. Esther was very helpful and is a very charming lady, who gave us hugs when we finally left. I would highly recommend this gallery to anyone, whether they are fans of Thomas Kinkade or have never heard of him. They have some of the most beautiful artwork you can imagine.

Unlike other things of dubious distinction, his work is not an acquired taste - you either love it or don't, and I don't.

In deference to those whose home decor includes multiple samples of his output, I'll award this three stars as an ideal place for you to indulge your questionable taste.
