Kinkade was known for his lighting and mood style of painting. It is estimated that 1 of every 20 homes in America has one of his paintings hanging in it. He was one of the most beloved and collected artists of our time.
Quote from his website:
"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."
It is reported that his Media Arts Group took in $128 million 10 years ago from over 4500 dealers around the country. He went private during the middle of the last decade. Many of his paintings are priced from several hundred dollars to over $10,000.
Kinkade's paintings feature Disney scenes, outdoors, churches, cottages, town scenes, and bridges.
Here are just a few examples of his incredible work:
His online gallery is filled with these brilliant works. There are some free screen savers as well. You can see by looking at these pictures how he earned his nickname "Painter Of Light". We will all miss his talent.
I should have bought one of these sooner. Now the price will skyrocket.
