On Google it shows there are About About 11,400 results (0.27 seconds) for Thomas Kinkade Conquering the Storms.
Prices vary from $89 to $3,500+. I am not familiar with this, but you can search online.
Example: This is sort of similar to yours sold at Goodwill online www.shopgoodwill.com/
This would require more research and I can't see your photo clear.
It depends on the size. It can be as low as $89 or as much as several thousand. Check eBay regularly to see what your exact print actually sells for.
If you are valuing for insurance, you may want to contact one of the many galleries that offers appraisals, like this one (I have not yet had the opportunity to deal with them, just one found in my research period):

If you are valuing to sell...when researching online, especially eBay, make sure you ONLY use SOLD auctions as your guide and that the item is an EXACT match to yours. There are many similar items and you can see from other responses there is a wide range of values that is why it is critical to locate an EXACT match (with numbered pieces exact means in that numbered series--knowing that a lower number may fetch slightly more than a higher).
Without knowing the exact size, frame style, condition, date, status of COA, etc. of yours it is hard for me to give you an approximate average selling price.
If there are several of the EXACT items sold with slightly different prices, then you may want to start your auction at the average price, in a 30 day fixed auction, where you offer the buyer the option to bid a best offer.
I'm glad there are still folks out there willing to spend $80 and up on these paintings, and ebay is a good place to check. In tersm of intrinsic worth as an investment possibility however it has nil, mainly because they were overproduced by franchise art studios.

"The self-proclaimed and trademarked "painter of light" was so popular among fans of pastels and candlelit windows that his company, Media Arts Group, went public with a $110 IPO in 1994. Kinkade was MDA on the NYSE until January 2004, when he bought in back for $32.7 million after the stock had lost more than 80% of its value. It was kind of like buying a Kinkade painting that may have had some nonsentimental value in the pre-Internet '90s, but when the Internet hit and the markets were flooded with Kinkades selling for much less than they were in stores, investment value plummeted.
"He has gorgeous stuff, but they QVCed it to death," Kahn says. "They sell beautiful Kinkade prints in galleries and on cruise ships, but the frames are worth more than the prints.""
