jabber Member Registered: 02/17/05 Posts: 10032 Loc: New York State	Good grief! I just read where Artist Thomas Kinkade passed away at age 54. I love his paintings! Lights in the windows look so warm and welcoming to me. I've always wondered why someone hadn't come up with this concept before! R.I.P.

I'm huge fan of Thom's talents. Any of you feel the same? Perhaps some of U feel like the critics and think he wasn't very innovative. I think lights in the windows took imagination. Of course, he ran assembly line prints and made a fortune. But how can anyone fault him for that? If there's a demand, you fill it! Am I wrong? _________________________ https://www.amazon.com/author/bonnie.mill-lemke https://kdp.amazon.com/en_US/bookshelf

Anne Holmes Boomer in Chief Registered: 03/12/10 Posts: 3212 Loc: Illinois	Jabber, I'd say Thomas Kincaide figured out a way to make a good living from his art work, and not too many artists can say that. He had a unique style, and if a lot of people weren't intrigued with it, he wouldn't have been able to sell so many prints. I'm sad to hear he's died, and flabbergasted to hear how you he was. Thanks for bringing his death to our attention. _________________________ Boomer in Chief of Boomer Women Speak and the National Association of Baby Boomer Women. www.nabbw.com www.boomerwomenspeak.com www.boomerlifestyle.com www.boomerco.com

jabber Member Registered: 02/17/05 Posts: 10032 Loc: New York State	I know. Me too. And the Time's reported he died of natural causes, but what those were nobody knows. Mike Wallace died too. But at age 93, he had a full, exciting life. This man had a bout with depression and nobody spoke lesser of him. Many well-educated people seem to associate depression with diminished brain functioning. IMHO that's unfair. Sensative people get depressed. That doesn't mean they're not as smart as anyone else!!! _________________________ https://www.amazon.com/author/bonnie.mill-lemke https://kdp.amazon.com/en_US/bookshelf

Ellemm Registered: 11/04/08 Posts: 601	All was not well in his world, sadly. He was an alcoholic and died from a probably accidental combination of alcohol and Valium. Plus, there's the girlfriend and estranged wife thing and now a court fight. Not at all like the paintings, is it? It's a shame.

Anne Holmes Boomer in Chief Registered: 03/12/10 Posts: 3212 Loc: Illinois	Is there some connection between creativity and alcoholism? It seems so many artists I've personally known over the years are alcoholics. And now you tell me this was a problem with HIM too... _________________________ Boomer in Chief of Boomer Women Speak and the National Association of Baby Boomer Women. www.nabbw.com www.boomerwomenspeak.com www.boomerlifestyle.com www.boomerco.com

jabber Member Registered: 02/17/05 Posts: 10032 Loc: New York State	Don't know, Anne. I know creative people who do not consume any alcohol. And I've known alcoholics who have zero creativity. At least if they have it, they don't develop or use it. Guess anyone who believes in God, believes every human has a certain amount of God-given creativity. It saddens me to think people don't cherish life with more passion and zest. The older I get, the more life looks so awesome and each day becomes such a treasure! Wish everybody felt that way! _________________________ https://www.amazon.com/author/bonnie.mill-lemke https://kdp.amazon.com/en_US/bookshelf
