Coming Soon:
The Thomas Kinkade Prison Series...
"Kinkade's Paintings of Prisons from Prison!"
Art ping
I've got a mansion just over the hilltop,
in that bright land where we'll never grow old.....
Lay up for yourselves treasures in Heaven...
As always, his paintings lack logic.
1. It is the middle of the day and the sun is shining, but the streetlight is burning and so is every light in the house.
2. The foliage and flowers indicate the season is late spring or summer (and presumably warm outside), but a fire is burning inside the house (see chimmney smoke).
I think it is all Kinkade's little joke.
I never equated this guy's paintings to Christianity. So that was news to me. He was (and is) just some guy who paints paintings to make a buck. Just like everyone else on earth. Get in line and take a number I guess.
This story will make many in the MSM smile. They never cared for any of his work because cynics can't handle innocence. According to the cynic, innocence is too weak and childish. I remember 60 minutes hinting that this guy wasn't a real artist. The Left's elitists will also smile at this story because any artist who attempts to lift/encourage the masses just can't be an "authentic" artist. Ah...I'm listening to the academic elitist laugh while he celebrates another threatening artist taken down. Kinkade should have practiced some of the innocence he tried to capture in his work. Another example where Christianity and fat egos don't mix.
They ought to title that one" Jon Benet".
You know, I won't go through all the details of our sour little experience with Kincade's little ponzi scam (after all, we just massively overpaid for a few nice but basically worthless prints, which OBTW were sold via massive misrepresentation as to their future value by his galeries);
all I will say is: "If it true, it couldn't have happened to a nicer fellow!"
Kincade basically figured out a legal way to "print money" by charging hundreds of dollars for worthless prints of his hackwork. But it looks like he might have gotten a bit too greedy.
This man is the QUINTESSENTIAL example of a "Born Again FAKER!". One of his prints (circa 1994) came with a videotape where he showed his style, and talked about God and how he was using his art to promote His Kingdom - and then in the next scene he briefly displayed about a half dozen classic cars from his "collection" hobby.
On top of that he is apparently also a foul-mouthed drunk according to newsreports from about a year ago.
He is just a fat, disgusting, low-talent, good-for-nothing, fake Christian flim-flam artist (ah, there is a "talent" that he was really good at - for a while anyhow).
And that's my opinion, and if you don't like it, I feel sorry for you because it means that he's still got the wool pulled over your eyes.
I am an artist and I can tell you that that amateurish painting would get a D- in most art schools. Looks like a background for a Disney cartoon.
Next thing you know they will go after the Velvet Elvis artist then the Dogs Playing Poker artist!!! Oh the humanity, the humanity. . .
