People may not know the name but the chances are that you have either had or have a calendar hanging up with one of his paintings in it.

Have three of his reproduction tapestries hanging in my living room. I enjoyed his artistry tremendously. Sorry to hear.

Not a big fan of his style, but he definitely built a following and served his fans well. Sad to hear of somebody going so young...

I spent a bunch of time in an art gallery doing framing when I was an undergrad. I got so tired of Kinkade and Uzilevsky that I vowed never to have own one.

Not a fan but many people are. Too young to die.

Think they will actually increase in value ? My sis has two or three originals with papers and signed...should I steal them?

He had mass appeal, hence his mass success. Not a fan, but I appreciate his ability to reach the masses and make people happy.
Many people like their art realism-based. Or to sum up something I overheard from someone at an abstract exhibit in the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, "I don't get it, I like pictures that look like stuff". |
