Thomas Kincade: Longlasting Prints?

does an investment matter if your enjoyment is derived in the moment?

I am uncomfortable with the prices and their justification. The market is saying that supply is overwhelming the demand, so as an investment, a Kincade is a stinker.

Owners of Kincades will do best to really, really enjoy their prints "in the moment".

I don't see his work as representation of deep belief, but as I said above, wish fulfillment. He portrays a simple elvish world. It's kind of a Disney fantasy land where poverty, hunger and disease don't exist, just glowing little romantic huts.

Having read his book "The Art of Creative Living" I have no doubt that his paintings are based upon his beliefs and faith. I like his work, I find it soothing and relaxing. Like TK, I too prefer to concentrate on the good in this world, rather than the bad. Not portraying the bad doesn't mean it doesn't exist, it can simply be a desire to have good in ones life.

It's like children's food, simple and sweet, not nuanced, not subtle, not challenging - ultimately textureless and bland.

The same way I feel about Meyerowitz. We all have our own opinions.

Most certainly I have found a significant impact on my psychological well being based on what I subject my senses to - it that regard I prefer light over dark any day

- it that regard I prefer light over dark any day

I don't think light has much meaning or impact without it's opposite, nor dark without light. Light with no counterpoint is wonderful briefly, then fades do monotony - monotone. Complexity and difficulty keep art and life alive. Doesn't make it easy, but I would argue, more enduringly beautiful.

OK so after speedreading through 13 pages of Kincade threads I'd have to say Kaatherine's thread back on page 3 is the funniest...and scariest!
