The death of Kinkade

Thomas Kinkade has died.

His paintings hang in 10 Million (yes with an M) USA homes and probably millions more around the world.

He said he was connected with "light" - he wanted his painting to reflect light, and he hoped a comforting message to anyone who needed comfort, hope, light.

He became a multi-millionaire through his painting and prints of his work.

The ABC news tonight also put it this way, "He did not paint for art snobs." Wow good for them putting it like that.

That was sure true. His work was skill and art.

A part of the meltdown of this world is what is palmed off as "art" - stuff that a 6 year old could do, and it sells for millions of dollars. It has to be madness, really - a Satanic madness.

I do not know if it is still there, but years ago some Canadian "important" building in the capital of Canada needed some "art" work. The tax payers (through the Canadian Government) bought for thousands upon thousands of dollars a 30 foot wall (maybe 15 feet wide) of half the side white and half the side black. And somehow the Canadian people were told to believe this was "art" - and payed thousands upon thousands of dollars for it. I mean give me a break - they could have hired a painter for 30 dollars an hour to paint the same thing.

It is truly NUTTY and CRAZY and profane as to what some people call "art" and the so-called "artist" gets tens of thousands of dollars for it, even Millions of dollars sometimes.

Thomas Kinkade was a TRUE artist, and I'm glad to report that in one country alone (the USA) there hangs his paintings in 10 MILLION homes.

Well done Thomas .... you did indeed bring some light into so many people's homes. We will miss your painting, but we'll enjoy the ones you gave us.
