Limited-edition Artist Proof canvas of “Stepping Stone Cottage” by American artist Thomas Kinkade, published in 1995 as the second work in his Sweetheart Hideaways collection. The composition depicts a warmly illuminated stone cottage surrounded by flowering trees, lush gardens and a tranquil stream. Natural stepping stones cross the water toward the cottage, while horses, waterfowl and a small rowboat complete the pastoral landscape. The scene features Kinkade’s characteristic glowing windows, reflective water and atmospheric treatment of light. This documented Artist Proof is numbered 105/295 A/P Canvas. The original Certificate of Limitation & Authenticity identifies the work as a limited-edition offset lithograph of Kinkade’s original oil painting and confirms that the Artist Proof canvas edition was limited to 295 hand-signed and numbered impressions. The canvas was hand-highlighted by skilled artisans under the supervision of Thomas Kinkade and hand-stretched according to Lightpost Publishing’s production standards. Presented in a substantial dark mahogany-tone frame with ornate sculptural corner embellishments, carved-style trim, a cream fabric liner, gold inner border and engraved brass title plaque.
