Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
When I look at his paintings I feel like I felt when I was seven years old on Halloween night: poisoned by sweetness!.

When I look at his paintings I feel like I just watched six straight hours of Nascar, because his stuff panders to the lowest common denominators of taste!. This is why you can buy a Nascar shirt and a Kinkade painting from stores juxtaposed to each other in shopping malls all across America!.

When I look at his paintings I also feel guilty!. That is because looking at them is like staring at an auto accident: one should not look, but curiosity overwhelms common sense in such situations!.

To me, some of his paintings look a bit whimsical and earthy!. They're very bright and colourful, and do bring a little joy to me, but in an odd way!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

He has good skills but it all looks cheesy and contrived to me!.
However he certainly is making money with his work! Good for him!. It's good to see him breaking the stereo type that an artist only makes money after he dies!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
