Thomas Kinkade Signature Galleries Northwest

I am a fan of Kinkade. The way he does Churches, Chapels, and Cathedrals is just amazing. So when i found out that he had a store at the Tacoma Mall i was amazed! i always thought i had to go online to get paintings but no i don't i just go down the road and i can blow all my paychecks there!!!!!!!!!! the painting are reasonable and not outrages i love the Painting of the cross and had to have it! Now i know why hes called the Painter of Light! more

This place is weird. I finally went into the Thomas Kinkade Gallery when I was at the Mall yesterday. I think his paintings are awful....mass produced flea market stuff! I saw the report on him and his empire on 60 Minutes and thought, wow, he's just exploiting a market, so good for him. Except that he sells this bad art as his own that he painted himself, which is totally false. They hire art school people to paint these, then sell them at a fantastic profit. It's just paint by numbers at a ridiculously expensive price tag, and under the cover of Christianity. How totally unChristian. The store itself in layout is ok, kinda small and packed so that they can get the most money what they're paying in rent per square foot. I have no problem that people get taken in by this "non-art" garbage, I just have a problem that this Company does it in the name of Jesus. more

The Thomas Kinkade Gallery, located in the Tacoma Mall, is a truly amazing place. Kinkade is the Painter of Light, so the gallery uses light to showcase the many reproduction paintings. Control knobs let you change the lighting from bright to dim and back again, and this allows you to see the paintings changing colors and "lights" winking on and off. An incredibly amazing effect! You can compare the different paintings side by side, as well, with the light effects - much better than looking at them on a computer screen or in a catalog. more
