    THE ARTWORK

    8 stars for the beautiful art work. Many people are searching for the name of the artist of the original paintings. I searched as well, until I actually looked at the credits. The artist IS given credit for the original art. Her name is Lori Goldberg. Well I cannot find the painting of "The Kiss", (which I am sure is not only my favorite, but for many others, as well), many of her pieces can be found.

    Great movie!

    My dog woke me up to this movie that kept saying his name...his name is Harper. He was named after Mama's Family...and come to find out the leads last name is Higgins ( Unice Higgins) is Carol Burnette s character....I loved it and so did my dog! LoL

    A gentle watch

    Taylor Cole is always an easy watch, and Steve Lund ? - I mean, who wouldn't want to date him ? A nice 'arty' film, but I'm biased towards the little dog - because I own the same make and model myself - a Border Terrier. The smartest and loveable of all little dogs. Is it any wonder he has a career in films ?

    Artwork: In the Style of Leonid Afremov

    I can't confirm, but the luminous painting of the kissing couple is reminiscent of the style of the recently deceased Leonid Afremov. Check out Google Images for more examples. I believe the estate is liquidating his personal collection little by little, so there may be some available to purchase, at least as prints. 9/25/2020

    Three reasons i like this more than usual Hallmark movies.

    • Taylor Cole and Steve Lund. In some Hallmark movies i don't like any of the lead actors, in some just one of them and in others both. In this case it's certainly the latter.


    • The art. Hallmark makes movies about photography and painting all the time. Too many times the work of supposed talented or successful artists is just ridiculous. Not this time though.


    • The twist. You know how in every Hallmark movie the stars break up with ten minutes left in the movie and get back together three minutes before the end? Hallmark does it because it works, it adds a dramatic effect that usually makes the entire movie better. But after watching hundreds of Hallmark movies, this not happening for once is a very welcome twist

    • Trivia
      The lead is named Harper Higgins. Thelma Harper from Mama's Family has a daughter Unice Higgins. So therefore, the lead is a reference to Thelma Harper and Unice Higgins.
    • Goofs
      Multiple characters in this movie are art experts and would know that Vincent Van Gogh did not have any children and therefore should have questioned the validity of Harper's claim that the new artist was Van Gogh's direct descendant.
