Thanks. His comment about it being art because so many people are buying it is analagous to McDonald's saying their food must be healthy since they've sold billions of burgers!</p> Reading those comments about Thomas Kincaide made me laugh so hard….just what I needed today as I'm battling a cold.

those are great ideas about how to turn the stinky housing market into a need for art – freshening up your space, creating a sacred space, etc…

I read somewhere that when people criticized his 'art' he said something like "well, I sell thousands of paintings so it must be art" - of course thousands of a lot of products are sold each day and none of them are considered art. I hate elitism in the art market -- but I also hate it when non-artistic people are called artists! Unfortunately many of them, because of their marketing skills, or being in the right place at the right time are elevated to a position that they really shouldn't have. Whoops - better get off my soapbox.</p> Tammy – I am SOOO with you on Thomas Kincaide.
