Amen! Preach it!

You can go to the students' art show at any decent university and buy off the rack original works by students that are a thousand times better than this awful Kinkade guy.

He is NOT an artist - he doesn't understand perspective, color, or the way light works. I particularly hate the way he lights a scene from 3 or 4 invisible light sources, none of which are coming from the apparent position of the sun. Calling him the "painter of light" is just insane.

He also has real difficulty drawing human figures, and animals.

But here is the definitive Kincade, courtesy of slowboat407:

I can practically smell the pollution in the water.....and the Christmas lights flicker as they shine through the smog

AAM, thanks for the recognition!

My wife has a particular sore spot about TK, as she is an artist herself and objects to his sleazy marketing tactics - especially the way he runs off tens of thousands of copies of a piece, and then arbitrarily divides them into variously priced "limited editions". We learned this firsthand in one of his galleries here in Virginia, when a salesgerbil there admitted that the only thing distinguishing two editions was a mark on the back, even though they were from the same print run.

Improving on the definitive :-)

An actual painter of light...



Rembrandt's rare 10,001 edition entitled "Bionic Kincaid". It's yours for only $500.
