LOL!!! That’s awesome! I’m putting that on my Mother’s Day wish list! My hubbo always wants to buy TK stuff and I always fake vomit. I have one painting in the house and it’s just about 1 too many!

But this shirt…this shirt is a must!

Thomas Kinkades paintings are amazing I have a few of them at my vacation home, actually.

His name was only vaguely familiar, I had to google to see his work. Definitely recognized it! I’ve seen his stuff (or very similar) again and again and again. Not my favorite painter, but I don’t think he is terrible (just overused).

maybe its just to remind us that the fall did happen and we can't change it?

I'm a big fan of art, but Kinkade is about the same as Rococo art- a little bit cloying. Too much of something that really had potential.

Thanks cabfound! Guess I'm pretty unsophisticated in my taste, too. And God loves everyone, even sinners and hypocrites ( if Kincade is either).

"Amen" Isabel – although it seems a 100 years ago – my crankiest, most miserable tipper ever was a Pastor's wife who didn't think my lowly waitress skills attentive enough on a Sunday right after her hubby preached a big-ole-sermon to his mega-church. His wife was rude, and downright nasty about their Sunday fish-n-chips outing… "ALMOST" made me think 'Well, if that's a Christian, why would I wanna be one?"

Fortunately, God gave me wonderful examples of His love in my life before and after that incident – but I've nver forgotten her 'disdain' for me, a lowly waitress, on that particular Sunday-after-church.

Uncool and Thomas Kinkade in the same sentence–noooooooo! Uncooth would be the right pairing. It's not art, it's kitche.

I guess I'll be the unpopular one and stick up for the mega succesful artist.

So what are all your beefs with him:
1) Too generic, I'm too cool an art critic to like Thomas Kinkade! (His style is mainstream, my stuff is better, blah blah blah…haters…)
2) Too commerical, I'm more spiritual than Thomas Kinkade and can obviously tear down his works for a lack of deep spiritual meaning!
3) Too successful! He has 2000 stores, and puzzles and nightlights! Odd, especially on a page written by a guy coming out with a book. So if his book sells like hotcakes and he makes all sorts of $$ then I guess it'll become cool to hate on him? (I hope this doesn't happen! The hating on that is, I hope you sell a lot of copies. I won't hate on you when you realise nightlights and puzzles. I mean hey, you already have booty, God, Booty buttons)
