Subject: Thomas Kinkade

Posted by: boxjaw

Pop artist Kinkade died yesterday. Not a fan of his paintings, but he sure did sell. When I first viewed his work, I thought it was paintings of Hobbiton or Rivendell. I was wrong.

I loved Thomas Kinkaid's paintings. The 'painter of light' knew how to create art that gives me the 'warm fuzzies'. I'm sorry to hear of his passing.

I have always loved his art work. Still do not know what killed him, he was only 54. He left some beautiful art work for us to enjoy as his legacy.

I too loved his work and have captured some of his work on my computer from cards sent to me in the past featuring his paintings. Now that is what I call art, not the rubbish foisted on us by people like Dali, Picasso, and a few others of their ilk. Give me the old masters like Rembrandt, Constable (particularly "The Hay Wain") Gainsborough, Turner etc. Those are pictures I would put on my walls.

Mommakat, we agree on so many topics! I've never enjoyed Picasso's art, as most toddlers can create better....and I have NEVER felt the need to apologize to the art snobs for that opinion. As for Dali, I could take him or leave him.

One of the most accomplished realism artists of the 20th century was Jack Lord; however, most people will remember him only as McGarrett on "Hawaii 5-0". That man painted the most phenomenal seascapes I've EVER seen!

The talented Mr. Kinkaid left us too soon. We have a wonderful Kinkaid gallery in my city, and now that he is deceased, I don't want to think about how the prices will escalate!

Thomas Kinkade still 'lives' in the many jigsaw puzzles of his work which keep me amused for hours.
