Ok, I wasn’t sure what to title this so there you go. I didn’t want to keep hijacking the Decker thread. I think Kinkade’s tragic story can be summed up in his art. You can see where he went from actually attempting art (it was not great, but at least it was in the great impressionistic genre and really not bad), to appealing to the masses for money. I thought I’d put a few examples of how his art progressed over the years. This does not take into account the thousands of prints/copies that he would simply sign and sell to our parents and others who thought they were buying real paintings.This isn’t to judge his soul, I hope he found forgiveness and mercy, I sincerely do.An early one called Portrait of a Woman, he painted very few portraits in his career, you may (or may not) wonder why.Here’s one called The Prince of Peace from 1980that is pretty cool. Obviously WAY different than his painter of light years. To me, this is much more expressive, the way art is supposed to be.Another one from 1980called The Old Watchmaker, A hint of the light that made him famousThen there’s the phase we all know like this one. Its pretty, no doubt about it. Makes me want a brownie and a blanket.Then came the Lazy-Boy (and pot-holders, and rugs, and welcome-mats). I think if you bought one of these you should be forced to carry it on your back through eternity as a warning to others who would part with their money for such.. Then toward the end, something went terribly wrong. There are so many its hard to just show one, but I think this one sums up the horrid, blinding 70’s leisure-suit loudness of it allWhat he sees.What I see.
