There are a lot of Kinkade paintings listed for sale and some (usually only canvas) may sell for several hundred to thousands of dollars but the problem with trying to help someone find a current value is the difficulty in finding an exact same paining that has sold even in the last year. It will probably never happen as each little detail means something when discussing paintings/prints.

Paintings are very, very slow sellers and you may find sellers who leave their paintings listed for years (and may never sell). This is not the same painting as yours but an example - Here is a painting that I had shown in one answer to a similar question (2/2017) and is still listed for sale (no way to know how long it had been listed before 2/2017). But we can see this painting has been listed for sale for over 2 years. This is not my painting, just a painting listed on eBay.

You can Google Thomas Kinkade Conquering the Storms and see how many different styles of paintings appear. And - you may not find even one that is the same as yours.

Here is one comment made by an appraiser when ask about buying a Kinkade painting:
"Art can be an investment, but investing in works from Thomas Kinkade is not known to pay off. ... "They sell beautiful Kinkade prints in galleries and on cruise ships, but the frames are worth more than the prints."
You might try getting a free appraisal so you'll know for sure what your painting may be worth - even if just for insurance. Appraisals are usually reduced by about 40 percent when trying to sell on the open market.

On eBay they have one listed that is the exact same size as your for $136. Value is determined by the frame. If yours is framed it could be in a little higher value.
Kinkades had a very interesting business model but the upshot is it might not be worth that much because they were essentially factory-produced. On the other hand, they re popular paintings so people are still buying them. I would expect $100 or more.
