It is difficult to provide an accurate answer without more information, but it appears these are authentic reproductions of Thomas Kinkade paintings.
As I read it, the Kinkade Company provided legal permission to several art studios/companies to make copies of his work and sell them to the public and other studios, who then sold them to the public.
It appears your pictures may fall in one of the categories such as shown in this link:

I believe your pictures were purchased from a studio and then had the pictures framed in the style that suited them.
It appears the frames are plastic (from the pictures) but they could be another material - wood?
Thomas Kinkade pictures are loved around the world, but rights to reproduce were provided so freely, this type of work is prevalent and lowers the value of his real official limited editions/work.
However, it also provides access to his paintings to so many people who could never have afforded any type of his paintings.
If you read about some of his accomplishments, it would be difficult to not agree that his life was of huge benefit to the world.

Add a photo of the signature.
Is it on paper or canvas?
It looks like Kinkade picture, maybe they are from his Seaside Memories Collection.
It's impossible to tell from the photo if this is a real Kinkade.
In the first photo, the picture looks like The Sea of Tranquility, or rather it is a part of The Sea of Tranquility
Title: The Sea of Tranquility
Collection: Seaside Memories
Painted: 1998
Published: 1998
Style: Luminism
I would contact them directly and ask them that question. thomaskinkade.com/
I would contact Thomas Kinkade website to see if it truly is authentic.
