He showed up to have passed away of organic causes, according to a declaration that his household released to The San Jose Mercury Information.
Much of his work demonstrated Christian styles or ambitions of a traditional, traditional America living in relaxing privacy. The artwork — of cozy bungalows and non-urban chapels and estuaries and rivers streaming carefully through amazing appearance — hardly ever included people, which allowed the owners to project themselves into the scenarios.
Mr. Kinkade referred to himself as the “painter of light,” usually with a
trademark symbol, for naturalistic scenes with highlights that appeared
to glow. Often his canvases were mass-produced prints to which he added
small, brightly toned details. He made no apologies for commercializing
the art field, comparing himself to million-sellers in, say, music and
literature.
Occasionally, Mr. Kinkade presented well-known urban places, like the
Rockefeller Center skating rink and Indianapolis Motor Speedway. When
Gene Monahan, the longtime trainer for the Yankees, retired last year,
the team gave him a Kinkade portrait of the old Yankee Stadium.
Mr. Kinkade grew up in Placerville in Northern California and was raised in relative poverty by a single mother. He said that he was drawn to art at a young age. As a young man, according to The Associated Press, Mr. Kinkade traversed the country by boxcar with another artist, James Gurney, to sketch the American landscapes that they encountered.
