His work did not appeal to me either, overly sentimental and over worked. But it takes all kinds.

I’m sorry, I found his work rather kitschy, but I appreciate his values and detail. He’ll be missed for the joy he’s brought to so many people.

But it takes all kinds

exactly. And appreciate his convictions and am sorry to hear about his struggles and his early death, which he might just see as a promotion.

I am an art collector, and though his work is pleasing, it doesn't have much artistic value. I have also heard rumours he sometimes cheated when it came to originals. Again, just rumours.

His orignials a while back used to fetch about $20K - $40K. I sure wouldn't have paid it, as I saw the upside as very limited. I think his after death prosepcts will focus on the volume of art he created. I don't think he massed produced originals (versus the opposite of copies (prints, giclees, etc.).

Due to that scarcity, I can see his original art going up, partially offset by the lack of artist quality.

Kinkade never knew when to stop. Always room for another glop of paint.
