I have grown to love this artist's technique and the uplifting nature and gentleness of his paintings. He was a Christian and his work brought out the grace and wondrous beauty of our Creator. I'm sorry to hear of his passing.

Kinkade's sentimental paintings, with their scenes of cottages, country gardens and churches in dewy morning light, were beloved by middlebrow America but
reviled by the art establishment...Many contain images from Bible passages. Hated by the 'art establishment' because of his technique or because Thomas was a Christian? Which is it, ASSociated Press?
Prayers for his family. He was truly gifted. Always loved his Christmas themed paintings such as this:

He left the world a more beautiful place. What a great artist. He attributed his talent to God.

Rest in peace, Mr. Kinkade. May the Lord grace your family with comfort and peace during this time and console them with the knowledge that you will be together again one day.

They forgot to mention that besides his beautiful paintings, Mr. Kinkade was also the manager of the Patridge family.

Beautiful Pictures, Post and Articles! Thanks!
Thomas Kinkade was to these decades as was Nowman Rockwell in our decades (us 70+; I’m 78)

We loved his paintings as well until we talked to some of the dealers. Apparently he would force dealers into selling his inventory. In many cases some of the dealers went bankrupted. We never bought a Kinkade and after that I could never bring myself to consider purchasing one.
I don't understand Christians who act this way. In the end, we take nothing with us as he has just found out.

Prices are being marked up at garage sales all over the south. It’s schlock art best viewed while eating a “Happy Meal.” This fine art is best hung between the Billy-Bass and the Jackalope.

beloved by middlebrow AmericaI dunno. I like NASCAR, bluegrass music, grilling a big ol' T-bone over charcoal, and driving ATV's all round my mountain property.
But I have Lautrec and Magritte prints on my office and living room wall, and yeah, I'd be embarrassed to put a Kinkade up next to them.
It's almost like taste is a personal thing or sumpin....
