On your Limited Edition Art, what is the difference between a S/N or A/P?
Standard Numbered (S/N) - These lithographs are available through all authorized dealers, and the canvasses are individually hand-highlighted under the supervision of the artist. Each is authenticated by Lightpost Publishing's double referencing authorization system featuring DNA technology. Each piece is individually hand-numbered with an S/N designation after the print number to correspond with the certificate and is in a choice of hardwood framing.
Artist Proofs (A/P) - This edition is available only through Showcase and above Galleries and now the Web, and is in very small editions. A/Ps are designated with the letters A/P during the numbering process and the canvas lithograph has a backstamp identifying it as an Artist Proof.

Tell me about the Artist?
Kinkade is a devout Christian and credits the Lord for both the ability and inspiration to create his paintings. His goal as an artist is to touch people of all faiths, to bring peace and joy into their lives through the images he creates. A devoted husband and doting father to their four little girls, Kinkade hides the letter 'N' in his paintings to pay tribute to his wife. Nanette, and the girls find their names and images in many of his paintings.
