Thomas Kinkade...The Painter of Light...  email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 95/100. twoey68 (10563) 3 years ago

I was researching Thomas Kinkade this morning and I ended up putting one of his pics as my desktop wallpaper. I love his pictures. They are so realistic, they make me think that I could step right into them. I have several that are favorites and I think I’d like to get some to hang in our home. He really is an extremely talented artist.

Do you own any Thomas Kinkade pics? What do you think of his art? Would you ever buy any to hang in your home? What’s your favorite kind of jelly? I love strawberry jelly with crunchy peanut butter on soft bread.

My aunt and MIL are both fans of Thomas Kinkade. We have Thomas Kinkade Puzzles, Throws, Pictures, Coasters, Books, Night Lights and Boxes in the house! He is a very good painter though I will admit, I enjoy looking at the pictures as they are so peaceful! Once my husband and I obtain our own place though, I do seriously doubt if we will have Thomas Kinkade items as we are more into western decor such as horse shoes and horses!

jo twpry I admire his works also . The light he paints make
everything so real and so vivid. the colors are just
phenomenal.I cannot hang any pictures on my walls as
I am in a retirement home. But I can enjoy looking at them
in art boods and some magazines too.

I was fortunate enough to get some Thomas Kindade scrapbooking papers on clearance. Loved that.

Kinkade's paintings are "nice" -- that is, closer to fantasy than real life.

I love Thomas Kinkade's painting. They are so beautiful but to expensive to buy. I have so many that I like for instance teh Sweetheart Cottage II, Christmas Memories, The Hidden Cottage, Victorian Christmas III, and the Blessings of Christmas. These pictures are so beautiful but any picture of his would be a wonderful thing to have.


myLot reputation of 95/100. cloudwatcher (4168)  3 years ago

While the paintings are expensive to buy, you can buy a 1000 piece jigsaw rather cheaply and they look great when glued down as a painting.

Oh yes twoeye
I love his pics. When you look at one it is like being there. I have two that I got at a yard sale for only an $1. The lady didn't know what she had. They are pretty good size. Im not sure what the size is but they are bigger than an 11x14.I would like to get more of his pics if I could afford them.
Good discussion and you have a nice day. Keep smiling.

Wow did you ever make out. One of his re-prints that size in a Thomas Kinkade Photo Gallery is worth several hundred dollars, depending on what it is and condition.

If you have one of the Sweetheart Cottage collection and you were fortunate enough to get an original, if you do run do not walk to the nearest lottery because you can't loose, you have a painting worth over $100,000.

Highly unlikely you do but depending on the condition what you do have is valuable.


myLot reputation of 100/100. rosepedal64 (1686)  3 years ago

Oh WOW
I will have to take a look at it and see which it is. I will do that tomorrow and let you know what I have or so some research on it. Thanks for that information. I really didn't know that they was worth that much at all...

Hi Twoey. Yes, I love Thomas Kinkade paintings. I have several of his paintings as 1000 piece jigsaws and also 2 Collections each with 10 puzzles. I think it is a touching gesture that he honours his wife by adding the letter "N" (Nancy) to every painting, usually on a door or post or letter box or in the gable of the house - fun to find.

Jelly? I presume you mean what we call jam. I don't really eat it, but my preference would be ginger or blackcurrant or apricot or pineapple.


myLot reputation of 78/100. Maggiepie (2990)  3 years ago

Here, in the U.S., jelly isn't the same as jam. The first is clearer, while the other is deeper, opaque. Both are yummy. happy

shocked I did not know about that N! I'm now going to look at every one of his paintings I can; I love to find things!

There used to be a shop near one of my jobs that carried high price paintings and they had alot of his paintings. They are a good investment so if you get them pleas make sure you have them insured. Have you ever seen his calendars? Beautiful also. I also like Ansel Adams.....he take photograph in black and white.


myLot reputation of 78/100. Maggiepie (2990)  3 years ago

Ansel Adams is one of my favorite artists. I wanted to become a photographer, once, as he was, but then I came to realize that it is possibly the only art form which improves because you can afford better tools, so I stuck to drawing & painting. happy

How does Thomas Kinkade relate to peanut butter and jelly? Love his work, but feel he is somewhat over promoted. I would greatly enjoy a day by day calendar with his work. I would love to step into some of the pictures. Go enjoy a PBJ sandwich for me.
