We have totally changed our great room, it no longer fits, and it is big. Should I sell it for three thousand, or wait until it is worht more. I did the wrong thing with some Microsoft stock once, so I am shy about being too quick. On the other hand, I am so dine with the painting.

Burning is too good for a Thomas Kinkade painting.
Get rid of it for whatever the market will give. It has zero intrinsic value, and when the hype dies down the market will disappear.

Auction it or sell it.
There is no point holding onto a Kinkade painting hoping that its value will go up. The fact is that his paintings are made for commerce purposes, to be sold to homes as decorations, not a masterpiece display. Thomas Kinkade has never created a piece of work that makes it so original that it could be worth more; they are made for the sole purpose of decoration. Only the originals have the possibility of increasing value because obviously, there is only one original. Prints' values do no increase unless they are limited editions of some sort, but with Kinkade, he does not have limited reproductions (because he can reproduce them by request or whenever he wants).

i worked a show he did at a University in California. The link will take you to the best work in the exhibit. and it will tell you everything you need to know about Thomas Kinkade. Sadly there is nothing more to his paintings than just pretty pictures. you would think that someone who has so much influence in the art world might try to make a statement!

The power of marketing! Even crap can take on appeal. I don't mean to insult you but as others here have said, Kincaid is a commercial success -- sort of -- but he has never produced investment grade art. Donate it and take the tax break. Then go down to Kmart or Target and buy something for the great room. Else, visit a reputable gallery and talk to the owner about entry level art for investment. or even contract a local emerging artist.

Well, you sound as if you are comfortably off, so donate it to your favourite charity, they can auction it off.
Everybody wins, you get rid of the painting, they get a substantial donation. They will probably even come and pick it up so you don't have to bother.

i would say u should burn it on live tv. kincaide is not a christian - he scammed you just like he did thousands of other christians who thought that slapping a bible verse on a painting makes it a "christian" painting. u have been royally had. kinkaide deliberately decieved his own investors so he could wrest control of his company from them - after convincing them to invest in his company. jerks like him r the reason so many people hate christians.
not to mention that he gets publicly drunk, mistreats waitresses, and pees on corporate artworks.
ps. sorry i was so cranky at you, julie...not your fault. thomas kinkaide makes my hair hurt.
