Now, I know all you big-city artistic types probably think I'm crazy, but once and a while I like to see a picture that actually LOOKS LIKE WHAT IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE!!! I mean, most art these days is just crazy squiggles that look like they were done by a 4-year-old. Well, if you're like me, then you probably love today's artist: Thomas Kinkade.

Thomas Kinkade is called "The Painter of Light," and if you look at his work, you'll know why. Did you know that Thomas Kinkade is the world's most popular living artist? Well, it's TRUE! He sells more works each year than anyone else!! All those people can't be wrong!!

Thomas Kinkade's pictures are just so life-like!!! You can imagine yourself inside each one of them... and I love that! Plus, it's nice the way he uses so much of one color, so that you can pick out a picture that matches your furniture--and that is SO important.

Plus, Mr. Kinkade is a good Christian who espouses positive family values--something that is VERY MUCH LACKING from today's other artists. Here are three of his works. Aren't they just PRECIOUS??!!!
