From Wikipedia: “William Thomas Kinkade III was an American and Californian painter of popular realistic, pastoral and idyllic subjects. He is notable for achieving success during his lifetime with the mass marketing of his work as printed reproductions and other licensed products via the Thomas Kinkade Company. According to Kinkade’s company, one in every twenty American homes owns a copy of one of his paintings.”
