If people have the money to pay what the artist sells, then I will not complain. It is the holier than thou attitude on some of the posts that really bother me. What a sad world it would be if everyone liked the same things.

It's fine to buy what you like. It's not fine if you bought it partially because you were dishonestly told it was a good investment, or that it would increase in value.

If you like Kincade, I bet there are other artists whose work you would like just as much and would also be Christian in theme and beautiful. Check some of the links that people have provided on this thread.

Mama, I think commercialization of Thomas Kincade is no different than that of Norman Rockwell. I have a wonderful miniature plate collection of his, "Enchanted Seasons" cottages, complete with it's own wall display cabinet. (I'm into plates)..

Another artist I admire is Pati Bannister. I feel in love with her work years ago. She works out of the Mississippi Gulf Coast, and I did buy one of her pieces for my dining room.

You might check out some of art for sale on EBAY, if you don't know her yet.
