There seems no question that Kinkade really does love to paint (though he's also known for his commercial enterprises that produce tchotchkes such as ceramic houses that light up and a chain of stores that sells reproductions of his paintings). The paintings in this catalog are accompanied by brief comments by the painter that refer to the natural effect he sought to capture. Neither the dimensions nor location of the work is indicated for any of the paintings; the threads of the canvas suggest they may be fairly small in scale. Doherty is editor-in-chief of American Artist . Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
