Believe it or not, a must-read about Thomas Kinkade, Painter of Light®. The weirdest part of the article follows: "One of the oddest aspects of the Kinkade phenomenon is that his historical fantasies are becoming reality. Late last year, The Village, a gated community of houses based on those in his paintings, was opened in California. Half a million dollars will buy you any one of four separate types of model home, each named after one of the Kinkade daughters (who, oddly, themselves appear to be named after model houses): Chandler, Everett, Merritt and Winsor. There are Kinkade prints in every room, paisley curtains, wood-panelled fridges and as many gables, dormers and white picket fences as a body could wish for. It might, though, occur to residents to ask, where are the old-fashioned community values Kinkade extols, in a town without a village meeting place, a square or even a church?"
