Default Thomas Kinkade...

I was so sad to learn that the wonderful artist Thomas Kinkade has died. I know there were a lot of stampers who were a big fan of the rubber stamps Cornish Heritage Farms made from his beautiful paintings. I always loved his work though I never had any of the rubber stamps. I will miss seeing new paintings. :(

It truly is sad. What a loss to the art world. I had alot of his collector plates hanging on my living room walls until I remodeled. And I do have about 5 of his rubber stamps. RIP Thomas. You will be missed.

Very sad. I love his use of light to bring life to his subjects. I have only one of his stamps, but I have never been able to do justice to it. Rest in peace and light, Thomas.

I was a huge fan of his work. I remember the first time I saw one of his paintings and how inspired I was. RIP Thomas Kinkade. Prayers and thoughts for his family.

So sad :( he was a very very talented painter who brought life to all his works. He was featured in a Christmas movie although I can't remember the title. RIP Thomas!

I've collected his puzzles and would glue them for my "TK pictures".

So sad to have heard this. His art was always lovely to me. I have a few of his stamps and objects around my home. Always wish I could paint like that. May he rest in peace.

I was in shock when I heard the news. I have several of CHF's TK stamps and a few of Thomas' paintings too. Love all of his work and will mostly likely never get rid of these.

I think it was called Christmas Cottage. We took the DVD out of our local library last year. It was filmed in Fort Langley, B. C. close to where we live which is Langley, B. C.

I was shocked to hear he had died. So young. I always get his page a day calendars, a large one and a mini one every year. Sure hope they keep publishing those.
