I really enjoyed the detail such as shadows, angles, and coloring. Especially on the house and smoke in the air.

Thomas Kinkade is an inspiration to me and many others not only because of his artistic talen, but also because of his humble beginnings. He proves that anyone can suceed, regardless of their lot in life.

To me his is a very imaginitive person who has thoughts that are very colorful and tasteful and Thomas is artistic enough to put his imagination on a canvas.

I like the piece on the blog. It really celebrates the Chirstmas spirit. My Nana likes his art and has some prints by him. I have seen the movie he made last Chrismtas. Now that I know the story behind it, I plan to watch it with new prespective.

TK has sold more canvases than any other painter in history.
I think the snowman looks happy, therefore TK is insenuating that when it snows people are happy or that Christmas is a happy time.

He made a killing doing art. He started little his mom helped when he needed it. I think it's interesting he hates hamburgers cause his mom made it with oatmeal when younger. If you look most poor people are very rich now. I like how he has got connections with Disney, nascar and many other things just by art.
