Located in the middle of the Der Ling Lane passageway, finding this sweet gallery is part of the pleasure. The Thomas Kinkade Studio in the Garden gallery operates within a typical Kinkade cottage and is depicted, but of course, in a painting by him.

I love Carmel and all its galleries. I have special memories from the George Rodrique gallery there.
