I am looking for clip art or real pictures to put on the front of a
program for church. I really would like to find pictures that are by
Thomas Kinkade. Are there any places on the internet to get these
pictures, and be able to download them for a Program? Thank you.

Hi Madderra, 

   If you click on the link below, you'll find numerous Thomas Kinkade
art. Mr. Kinkade's work is copyrighted however. He may allow you to
use some images for a church bulletin, and I have posted contact
information further down in the answer.

Click on each thumbnail picture to see the larger image. Right click
the image and select "Save Image" to download it to your hard drive.
(Save it to a folder so you can find it!) You can then use your
brochure program to insert the art.

A good source of photos are photo forums like this one:

Hi Maderra,

 I recently came across another image site you may like. The pictures
are not free, but thay are only $1-$3 per image, with a huge
selection, and no royalties.

  Good Luck, Crabcakes
