California artist Thomas Kinkade dies at age 54
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) - California artist Thomas Kinkade, whose brushwork paintings of idyllic landscapes, cottages and churches were big sellers for dealers across the country, died Friday, a family spokesman said.
Kinkade, 54, died at his home in Los Gatos in the San Francisco Bay Area of what appeared to be natural causes, David Satterfield said.
Kinkade's sentimental paintings, with their scenes of cottages, country gardens and churches in dewy morning light, were beloved by middlebrow America but reviled by the art establishment.
The paintings generally depict tranquil scenes with lush landscaping and streams running nearby. Many contain images from Bible passages.
Kinkade, a self-described devout Christian, claimed to be the nation's most collected living artist. His paintings and spin-off products were said to fetch some $100 million a year in sales, and to be in 10 million homes in the United States.
'I'm a warrior for light,' he told the San Jose Mercury News in 2002, in reference to his technical skills but also the medieval practice of using light to symbolize the divine. 'With whatever talent and resources I have, I'm trying to bring light to penetrate the darkness many people feel.'

Which one is the best Age or non-age whisky? Why is Non-Age-Statment Whisky Getting So Popular?
Whisky as a whole has seen a surge in popularity in the last 10 to 15 years. As a result, once-plentiful supplies of aged whiskeys have dwindled. Because fewer aged whiskies can be found on the shelves, NAS whisky has become more common.
That may sound like a letdown to those who are accustomed to drinking aged whisky, but there’s no need to blame whisky newcomers for depleting your supply. Non-Age-Statment (NAS) whisky can be every bit as tasty and sophisticated as aged whisky, and it has open the floodgates for whisky distillers to experiment with new blends that can revolutionize the whisky-drinking experience!
Although NAS whisky has experienced a popularity boom in recent years, it’s actually been around for a long time. Johnnie Walker is a well-known example of a NAS whisky blend that has been around for a good while. During its time in the spotlight, it has fortified a reputation as one of the world’s most popular whiskies.

Thomas Kinkade - Collectable or Dust Collector
Can a person get diabetes from looking at too many 'sugary' paintings? Let's hope not. One of the schmaltsiest painters is Thomas Kinkade, whose cute little cottages with lights aglow from inside, have been turned into a one man industry.
Thomas Kinkade calls himself 'the painter of light.' One writer Joan Didion described Kinkade's over bright houses as being 'lit, to lurid effect, as if the interior of the structure may be on fire.' Whether a country retreat, or a Victorian house in the suburbs, Kinkade's paintings look like Christmas card illustrations Viewers never have to struggle to understand what the graphic image communicates. There is a feeling of a comfortable home. That's all. If you can supply the happy memories, or future hopes of domestic contentment the picture is complete. Who wouldn't be happy with such thoughts?
This feeling of happiness has been transformed by Kinkade into a profitable company. Vincent Van Gough could only sell a few paintings while he was alive; a hundred years after his death his 'Sunflowers' has been sold for $100,000,000. Thomas Kinkade took a shortcut to riches when he began to mass produce his works as high priced prints. He set up a company, was listed on the New York Stock Exchange, and had 350 retail outlets across the US to peddle his wares. Many people bought expensive repr
