Painter of Light? More like painter of crap you'd see in your dentist's office.
Thomas Kinkade is famous for his luminous landscapes and street scenes, those dreamy, deliberately inspirational images he says have brought "God's light" into people's lives, even as they have made him one of America's most collected artists.

A devout Christian who calls himself the "Painter of Light," Kinkade trades heavily on his beliefs and says God has guided his brush — and his life — for the last 20 years.
I can't fault the man for cultivating his business/market. But his paintings are crap, and he peddles them to anyone that is going to buy any drek he churns out with his name on it.
