Thomas Kinkade will not be down to breakfast.
Kinkade passed away on Friday at the age of 54. He painted quite a few Disney themed paintings.
Around here, however, we don’t look backwards for very long.
We keep moving forward, opening up new doors and doing new things, because we're curious…
and curiosity keeps leading us down new paths.

I bought some of his Postcard-sized prints of Beauty and the Beast and the Lion King. Big Paintings are expensive :(Shorty82 wrote:Kinkade passed away on Friday at the age of 54. He painted quite a few Disney themed paintings.

Has anyone ever seen a real original Kinkade?
Don't be fooled by appearances. In Hawaii, some of the most powerful people look like bums and stuntmen.

Re: Thomas Kinkade will not be down to breakfast.
The Santa Clara County Coroner's Office reported Kinkade's cause of death as "acute ethanol and Diazepam intoxication" and manner of death as "accident." Diazepam is the active ingredient in Valium.

Yes! And they're even more amazing than the prints. Seriously, he called himself a "Painter of Light" and he really was.hobie16 wrote:Has anyone ever seen a real original Kinkade?
There was a gallery in Park City, Utah with quite a few of his originals. On the walls next to the paintings were dimmer switches that would allow you to adjust the lights shining on the paintings. As "dusk" lighting would hit them the lights in the pictures themselves seemed to glow like there was a bulb behind the canvas. It was truly a beautiful thing to experience.

I looked a few years back but couldn't find any information on one near us -- all the ones I could find were well west of us, alas. Either the midwest gets no love, or the art galleries out here aren't talking about it on the Internet or anywhere else I had access to. Probably would have had better luck if I'd been looking earlier; bunches of his galleries shut down between 1997 and 2005. And of course the art museums around here have no time for him.hobie16 wrote:Has anyone ever seen a real original Kinkade?
Not, I suspect, that the art critics out west liked him any better. :p:
Thanks for sharing your experience!Tara_Lee3 wrote:Yes! And they're even more amazing than the prints. Seriously, he called himself a "Painter of Light" and he really was.
Although I love what he does with light, I have always thought he does water well, too -- even though I'm not crazy about his Belle and Beast, I am entranced by that waterfall through the middle of their painting. Ditto the waterfalls in the Bambi one, and lots of his shore/lighthouse pictures and, well, all his water stuff.
My mother has been a Thomas Kinkade fan since way early; must e-mail her today. I always said I liked all his paintings a great deal, but never felt any desire to own any particular one until he did Cinderella's Caste. Don't tend to like his people, so like his other stuff better than most of his Disney paintings, but, oh, my! That one. *sigh* I may end up getting a big ol' TK print yet. ;)
