Tribute to Thomas Kinkade

[arteztx]

I don't get it, people are hating so hard...I've heard my professors bitch out him too but I actually went to an auction of his.... He sold about 40 paintings....each one going from 200,000 to 700,000 ...he made millions in an hour....someone explain to me why he is such a terrible painter? I'm not defending him, just curious. Is he considered a "sell-out"?

[libertylovingyankee]

The envious little creeps who pretend to find fault with Kinkade's work seem to react to the paintings in the same way a vampire reacts to a crucifix or the sun; these paintings neutralize their vices. God bless Thomas Kinkade.

[CHLOESSWEETBOWTIQUE]

I love the tribut. great video and i love the selection of painting.Christ be with you.

[brainybrunette91]

I think that some day, when Jesus comes back, the world will look like this; truly a thing of beauty.

[randomrebel08642]

More power to him, most are artists are dirt poor so he was able to make a ton of money on his paintings.

I LOVE Thomas Kinkade! His paintings are so beautiful and peaceful. Makes me want to be in the painting right there in that moment. The 6 dislikes are from people who don't appreciate his work.

[SpikeLee3000]

Thomas Kinkade is the Ed Hardy of the fine art world. Expensive but tacky beyond belief.

[thewhiteafrican]

i could shit a better painting

[vanhouten64]

Leonardo, Michelangelo, Vermeer, Velazquez, Hals, Cezanne, Monet, Degas, and now Thomas Kinkade - the Master of Light.

[HelloCuteKitty81]

i love it<3

[loganhannah54]

LOVE IT SO MUCH. THANK YOU FOR SHARING. ALL MY LOVE AND RESPECT

[loganhannah54]

MY PAINTER OF LIGHT...I LOVE THIS SINGER! THANK YOU FOR SHARING. ALL MY LOVE AND RESPECT :)

[jimtrueblue99]

We need to let future generations enjoy Kinkade's paintings. I suggest that we wrap them in plastic bags and deposit them in landfills and garbage dumps. That way when archaeologists of the distant future excavate 21st century middens they will find Kinkade's paintings and then will display them to the dumbfounded astonishment of our distant descendants.

[irateofwatford]

It's the visual equivalent of an Andre Rieu musical arrangement. I can feel yesterday's lunch creeping back up my gullet.

[jerryaltman]

Pretty painting, really beautiful !

But after watch 15 paints or so we start to think: "Hey, all look the same somehow, always same style with landscapes."

[laggie24]

I love Kinkade's paintings very much... my eyes just wonder around from corner-to-corner ... they give me peaceful moments. @ cidickey1 ... I appreciate ya Kinkade's slideshow and ya choosen music just goes with it :-)

..Regards from Budapest

[DJSHADDY2K7]

@laggie24 when did he pass awawy?

[laggie24]

@DJSHADDY2K7 ... pardon me... I haven't the slightest idea who ya talking about... maybe ya wished to ask this from someone else.

By-the-way he is still a living artist ... not too old yet :-) ... cause he was born in 58'.

[laggie24]

@DJSHADDY2K7 ...O.K. TG we worked it out :-)))

Kinkade still works and from time-to-time I follow his works.

Wish ya a happy day...regards from Budapest

[thestag180]

a real joy , thank you.

[ProfessorCWI]

although what i said is true, this guy is a Jesus freak so I know longer give a shit about him. i would kill to paint like him though... so i could step it up a notch so it isn't as "kitsch" as you all say it to be.

[ProfessorCWI]

unless you are an artist then you really have no fucking idea how hard it is to paint images like this. it takes skill and patience and those are two things that plenty of people today have barely little of in the first place.

[rocky01ist]

A truly great artist<3

[God0Mighty1]

I couldn't paint like him because I would feel like a fag. I couldn't impress any hot art chicks, just old ladies. That would suck. I bet most women artists can paint more like a man than that douche bag. He is probably a closet homo and all his gayness is coming out in his paintings.

[smtaylor303]

bbblllaaaah blauuauahahahahhhh. i can't stop vomiting.

[MARTA9770]

Спасибо,очень красивое видео !!!

[crixxxxxxxxx]

Nothing but phony, kitschy Grandma art.

Kinkade is to art what McDonalds is to fine dining.

[yxwotangi]

kincade causes cancer, global warming, and fox news.

[Cinemagiquedotcom]

I despise Kincaid's work. It is everything I hate in art. I had to spend 4 months color correcting scans of his crap for a screen-saver and it was truly depressing to have to study the details of his soul sucking imagination. But I love all of the comments posted here! 5 Stars for the comments!!

[UntitledArts]

Great job !

[marshantexas]

I love TK's work, such beautiful pieces. My fave too are the wooded cottages, seems like a world far away far from all the negativity of the world. Just peaceful and serene.

[Monkee626]

my favorite paintings of his are the cottages in the forests. i dunno why, it looks so peaceful. my favorite painting is the one on 3:11, again i dunno why. does anyone know the name of it?

[trinitaterion]

Ohh man, words are of no use, my hate towards the crap that this man does, i really dunno how i hate more, Basquiat Or Kinkade, both mediocre in their own field.

[BurtonAir161]

I just love Thomas Kinkade's work!! It's so beautiful. Have you guys ever seen the print with the light house that has a light bulb instaled inside the picture? My grandma got that one from my mom for Christmas and it is so cool looking!

[iandesiderio]

do you know what this video reminds me of?

stepping in a steaming pile of shit.

it looks like shit.

he thinks like shit.

its all shit.

just shit.

[0bambi0deer0]

someone must be so empty to think like this

[iandesiderio]

I am empty, i just took a huge dump.

it looked like a kinkade. Thanks for your concern=]

[0bambi0deer0]

so maybe you didn't mean what you said...

[bahjonas]

I completely agree, his work is a staggering and revolutionary execution of tone and composition which has an unsurpassed resemblance to shit. Its importance as manure for future landscape artists is momentous.

[tremulo20]

Very pedistrian compositions.  Too much contrast in his tones and too much "paint out of the tube" colors. His application of the paint is nice - but overall Kincade's art is boring.

[Bagpipe13]

This Artist can truly see beauty.

[SpaceBambino]

really? it doesnt show in any of his paintings

[chudalison]

i am a lay woman, never understood Pablo Picaso's art. Infact, I dont even understan Thomas Kindade's art. But the beauty of his art is that u dont need to understand it. Your soul gets it just fine.

[SpaceBambino]

then your soul is sick and tasteless, lady

go watch a michael bay film, that you may understand

[SEGOVIALOPEZRAMOS]

GUAU!!! GENIAL!!!!

[airva21901]

It looks like heaven...

[SpaceBambino]

what kind of sick twisted religion do you believe in that this is what your heaven looks like?

[airva21901]

Is it your business at all? fucking retarded

[MJisAnutcase]

his drawings are beautiful and haunting

[sephir298]

I love meeting poeple who fork out a fortune for these insipid, kitsch pieces of crap. I find people's tastelesness rather fascinating - you know when you enter someone's home and it's littered with 'precious memories' figurines? Hilarious. Not to mentioin Kinkade himself is an incredibly unpleasant little shit who's primary interests lie with cold, hard cash. And the song was awful. I hope you're mother liked the video, though - it's a lovely sentiment.

[ruinyourdaywithpiss]

@sephir298

THOMAS KINKADE IS GOD!

[hifijohn]

@sephir298 what mcdonalds is to fine food thats what this stuff is to art.

[ultimusgimp]

they may be pretty, but they ain't art by any stretch of the imagination. I also object to any one who exploits religion to sell their pretty chrismas cards. kinkade copies eduard cortez.

[Corax83]

Everything is learned from someone or something. Nothing springs from a vacuum. The only original and genuine artists are the ones that invented paintbrushes and canvasses. Everyone else that follows is a student and that includes our beloved cortez, genius though he his.

[hickoryhop]

It's so funny that people think he's such a big deal. He lives in the San Jose area and I see him all the time. He's just a regular dude. Everyone knows him around here.

[rbjllj]

I have been to a thomas kinkade gallery. I like the nice serene settings.

Yeah it may not be real life, but it's nice in any case.

No he won't be considered in the frame of the greatest. Everybody likes different things. I also have been to real museums some I liked and some things I didn't.

I went to one and they had one thing called styrofoam man which was an inch high that looked like it was made out of a styrofoam plate cut out.

But to each their own.

[ixXxlostxXxu]

y such bad commentz, these r really beautiful, the way he captures evrything.thank u for posting=D

[sweetangel50]

crapola fest.this is what this is...Smoke in every chimney and a light in every window...sure traits of a dipshit

[donkeydicked]

so beautful...must be why he is the USA biggest selling artist...

[ultimusgimp]

he isn't the biggest selling artist unless you only go by christmas cards and very expensive cheap reproductions, as far as original art goes, he is not even in the top 100 . most of his work is stenciled and silkscreen repro's

with glitter thrown on by college students

[airva21901]

so? it's beautiful

[Stoopare]

Haha, this looks like the kind of crap that Hitler painted!

[wolfram23344]

You are right. In Hitler's paintings, people, if they appeared at all, were just rather blurry little figures. Almost like they were being used in an attempt to humanize the painting with a pretense of creating an empathy with the viewer.

[struan]

This is appallingly tacky crap. You like this? Really?

[keramikk]

OK, the painting at 0:35 actually has some merit. The rest of it makes me feel really sick, it's like I have been eating nothing but icing sugar for days.

[bscottb8]

The chimney of every house painted by Thomas Kinkade belches smoke, regardless of season, like a Pittsburgh steel mill. In summer, the interiors would be about 250 degrees fahrenheit. Nostalgia lies.

[keramikk]

And the smoke always go straight up in the air, apparently there is no wind, ever! I'm shocked to read that some people would even like to live in a landscape like that. Looks like Hell itself to me!

[MCpance]

@bscottb8 You are a god among men.

[VodeoJMC63]

I agree epstone1. I'll take a monet or vangogh any day before I'd ever even remotely consider a kincaid! I guess I just find his stuff too syrupy sweet, cutesy and banal. he looks like he paints with cake frosting! there are no humans in his paintings, and they're otherwise just so barren. to me they lack genuine warmth, and appeal to home decorators who see his paintings as a decoration, and not as art in itself.he calls himself "painter of light" but I tend to refer to him as painter of crap!

[melaniemoss94]

I love his paintings...

[epstone1]

Thomas Kincaid: no talent hack.

[syanarasucka]

you're all idiots

[otntdiana]

Wow , this is absolutely a beautiful way to express the heart of myself, let alone help express our heavenly fathers desire to be our prayer. God bless, and may HE and WE see it at Godspeed for fruition.

Diana

[Elverhoej1]

thise puctures really are beautiful

[kemosabe73]

those aren't picture's those are paintings from thomas kinkade the painter of light...

[WhenIrishEyes]

Why thank you for clearing that out for us all! Really don't you think that Elverhoej1 is aware of that? :P

[AnimeSong3]

Beautiful, absolutely Beautiful - many Thanks for posting!

[erzbet07]

Lovely tribute to Mr. Kinkade.I'm not familiar with Miss Tumes but her song is perfect for your photo montage. Also, the ending rolling credits are great too -- classy script and color. All in all a pleasant presentation. Thanks for sharing on You Tube.

[cdickey1]

Thx so much; I'm glad you enjoyed! :)

[psiguynow]

Very, very nice. Thanks for sharing this.

[bundlewade]

Where can I find this song? It is so beautiful but I have never heard this one in any of Michelle Tume's albums.

[cdickey1]

I messaged you in response to your question 4 months ago, but every time I watch my video, I always wonder if I answered this, so that's why I'm replying. lol
