Thomas Kinkade, the 'painter of light'

Thomas Kinkade, the "painter of light," whose paintings and prints hang in one out of every 20 American homes, is dead at the age of 54.



"I try to create paintings that are a window for the imagination," Kinkade said on his website. "If people look at my work and are reminded of the way things once were or perhaps the way they could be, then I've done my job."

My thoughts:

Well said.  I love his paintings because they are just what he said.

There are many beautiful things in this world. However, there are just as many ugly things as well.  I prefer to look at or stay with the beautiful.

There are also things that are neutual. Depending on the angle of your observation, it can be so so or it can be wonderful. I choose to look at the things at the bright side.

• "下裏巴人＂應以樸素真情見長，恰恰相反，這類行畫是沒有藝術可言的。 -漢至- ♂ (0 bytes) () 04/10/2012 postreply 07:43:43

• 裝飾性很強的風格，美國非常常見。一般家具店都可找到。一個模式，沒啥藝術性。有人喜歡也罷。 -遊子明- ♂ (0 bytes) () 04/10/2012 postreply 20:15:22
