Why is Thomas Kinkade the most collected Artist on the planet?
Because Kinkade conveys depth in art and uses color including color harmony, color depth, and color associations. Thomas Kinkade is widely regarded as the foremost living painter of light. His complex technique bears great kinship to a little known group of nineteenth century American painters known as the Luminists. As Kinkade puts it, “Like the Luminists I strive for three visual aspects in my work: soft edges, a warm palette and an overall sense of light.” Kinkade’s mastery of these three seemingly simple aspects gives his paintings the warm glow and idyllic softness for which he is known. This special “Kinkade Glow” might help explain his enormous popularity as an internationally published artist.
