Art Notes

Thomas Kinkade was a life-long admirer of Walt Disney and the wonderful characters he created. In collaboration with Disney, Thomas Kinkade Studios has created the Friendship Moments series, a collection of art featuring favorite characters and their best friends painted in beautiful Kinkade settings.

Thomas Kinkade Studios presents the seventh painting in the Friendship Moments series, Disney Mickey and Minnie Trimming the Tree. The crackling fire is casting a warmth as all our favorite Disney friends have come together to begin the celebration of the Christmas season.

A bright full moon is illuminating the interior of the cottage, where Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse are taking a small break from decorating to enjoy some hot chocolate and cookies. Daisy Duck is trying to choose the next ornament to hang on the tree from the basket that Donald Duck is holding for her. Goofy has lifted his son in the air so that Max can place an ornament higher up on the tree. Huey, Dewey and Louie have cleverly strategized how to hang the bright star on top of the tree. Who knew a fishing rod could come in so handy? Pluto has mistakenly confused an ornament for a ball, and the whimsical duo of Chip and Dale are causing a bit of chaos on the fireplace mantle.
