  for us godless heathens? You know, maybe something in a non-sparkly white....I should know better than to graze your journal as I'm having my morning coffee :) That just hurt my brane.

  For some reason I am reminded of Thomas Kinkade: similar wave of shudder went through my spine.

    Mmmmm Thomas [guardian.co.uk] Kinkade! [thomaskinkade.com]

    «"His paintings have this treacly, sickly sweet aspect which is idealised by Americans," says [San Franciscan artist Jo] Sances. "The objective was to add an element of reality to them. I think the paintings did hit a nerve." He was deluged with emails following the controversy [where he parodied Kinkade's style]: "Nine out of 10 were in favour but the ones that weren't accused me of being unpatriotic and said I should go and live in Afghanistan."»

    I just don't understand

      I don't personally like Kinkade, but he is brilliant with light on landscapes. Too bad that's ALL he is brilliant at. :) I don't have a problem with his work in particular, though; my problem is with the pervasiveness of his work. He is a fine painter, creating works many people like. I just wish I didn't see his works everywhere.
