5.0 out of 5 stars Escape With Kinkade, November 22, 2000

By	guinevere (Shiloh, NC United States) - See all my reviews

Even if one does not appreciate art, Kinkade's vivid artwork shines through the brilliantly placed pages of his Masterworks of Light.

Masterworks of Light contains an abundance of Kinkade's popular landscape pictures that come to life within the comforts of one's own home.

Do not forget to view these images in regular light and dim light as well. You may just find a few surprises to delight you.
