I would not be able to pick a favorite painting by Thomas Kinkade, they all give me the same sense of peace but a yearning also, if that makes sense. I would live in his paintings if I could.

Dear Maureen,
I saw a lot of Thomas Kincade's art in a gallery in Honolulu, Hawaii. It was breathtakingly beautiful and I wanted to buy the whole lot! I can see why you love his work. You have chosen a wonderful artist. God bless you.
Hugs and love,

Dear Petra,
Thank you for commenting on this poem. Thomas Kinkade is an amazing painter and is also a very good person! Every year I buy one of his calendars and I have several Thomas Kinkade puzzles I've put together. I have a beautiful book that was given to me by a friend which contains some of his most beautiful paintings and quotes from great authors. It is one of my most prized possessions!
Love and hugs,
Maureen

Very good. I too love his painting. Had to come to see what you wrote. It very fitting to the picture. Take care -
I dont think he sells the originals, only touched up copies.

Thank you, Criss!
I love all of Thomas Kinkade's paintings but I'd love to have the one I posted on my wall (they're expensive, though).

I featured this because of the painting, it's so beautiful, words can't do justice to it.

There is actually a couple paintings by him in my house. My mom bought special gallery dimming lights just for it so she could do the "sunrise-sunset" effect the painting has when lights hit it at various brightnesses.
The poem was short yet it captured the pure joy you get from his paintings. This was a great ode to a great painter. -
Thomas Kinkade is famous for his beautiful paintings. I don't know him but I wish I did.

I love Thomas Kinkade. I have two of his paintings hanging in my house. I really like this painting of the bridge.
You've captured the delight of his painting in a few simple words. -

I saw the name Kincade and had to come in see what you had to say. You said it all in just a few short lines. His work is awesome. I have not found a piece of his art that I do not like. He puts so much into his paintings, by way of real to life paintings that just evoke so many feelings in you. Some even give you a nostalgic feel as you feel like you've stepped back into time and are standing in the light of one of the streetlamps he's painted. He is an amazing artist.

Thank you, Bud! I've put together (permanently) several of Thomas Kinkade's jigsaw puzzle paintings, too!! I hope they still sell them..I'd like to do some more.

Dear Maureen,

An artist who creates such beauty
that on empty sheets has laid,
earns our respect and love as duty.
Such artist is Thomas Kinkade.
His bountiful imagination
expressed with talent, skill and care,
commands the highest approbation.
That's why his paintings are so dear!
~~~
Thankyou for honouring this well-loved artist with such a fine clerihew and for sharing. Applause.
Love and hugs, XXX Hugh.

I love the postcards, Sis. His paintings are expensive (I checked). I wish I could open a gallery and sell his paintings (but there already are several stores in my area selling them). Paddy got me a beautiful Thomas Kinkade calendar. The pic' I used with this poem is this month's picture on the calendar. Thank you for the poem you wrote for me, Ann and Wanda, Sis. You're such a good friend.
Love you!

I love Thomas Kinkade! I love his paintings. This is beautiful and weird type of poetry style, I haven't seen it done. A Clerihew you say? then I guess I'll have to do my homework on that subject. The title is very good as well...beautiful. Good job.

Wonderful tribute!!
A wonderful tribute to a visionary with a palate and brush his paintings take your breath away they let you breathe in each stroke of wonder... I have framed pictures of his from a calendar they are on my walls to remind me to reliquish all that I possess into beauty... thank you so much for putting up this well deserved tribute to another artist from his form we too can learn Wishing you much success in all of your future endeavors Love, Peace, Joy, Blessings, Wisdom ... Myst

very cute. not much to say for so short a peice-it was cute and simple. My mom really likes t. kinkade, and i think this peice does the painting justice.
-
oh,my how wonderful.you wrote to this picture like you were the painter and you knew it stroke by stroke.the form suits it as well.i learned about kinkade from my granddaughter who said about the painting,"you can't say one thing about it,it leaves you speechless."out of the mouths of babes,but she is right,both the picture and the words leave you speechless.
-
Wonderful
I've never seen this style of poetry before. I love how you have expressed so much in such a few words. I've never heart of Thomas Kinkade either, but this painting is really quite beautiful so I will be looking into his work too. Thank you for introducing me to two new things tonight. Luv Niky x -
Oh my! This is ADORABLE!! I'm a huge fan of Thomas Kinkade. I'd like to thank you for sharing all that info. in the comments. Thank you so much! All Thomas Kinkade's paintings are just out of the world!!! I'm really glad to have seen some live in Orlando with the light dimmed and then made bright. Each layer is so distinct, oh the beauty!!
Big hugs to you for sharing this!
