I, too, like Thomas Kinkade. Not as deep as some artists, but I enjoy the nostalgic feeling that his paintings bring forth. They feel warm and evoke a feeling of better times.I have always liked Thomas Kinkade.

The man on the left with a pipe and gift is Norman Rockwell, a neat little fact.
Afraid I can relate. They took out my spleen. A doctor came in the next day and said they were going to have to take out the hall bladder. Before I could absorb this another one came in and said they might have to take out my liver. Fortunately they came in the next day to say they would not have to.On the flip side, I have no gall bladder, and someone else's liver.
That’s my favorite from the painter of light!I have always liked Thomas Kinkade.

You can live without a spleen or a gall bladder. You cannot live without a liver.Afraid I can relate. They took out my spleen.

I saw a video the other week that showed all his paintings over the years and claimed he had built an entire contiguous world through his paintings. For instance, one painting connected to another and that to another, etc.
To where if you could see each, in just the right order, it would be like a flipbook flying through all these environments continuously. Some real Stephen King meta stuff.
There was a Gallery around here several years ago and if someone bought a print there were painters that were trained under him that would highlight the print, that was neat to watch. We would go to the one in Gatlinburg when it was there. Turning the lights up and down really showed the paintings off.That’s my favorite from the painter of light!
You're going to set me off on another tangent by mentioning the Vatican. Does anyone else wonder what historical treasures they have hidden away from the world in their vaults?My daughter and I were there in November. Other than the Louvre, I’ve never experienced so many masterpieces in one location (Vatican). The School of Athens by Raphael was pretty awesome as well.
