This pretty much sums up why most modern "artists" hate Mr. Kinkade. Contrast what the images you posted to what passes for modern "art":

versus:

Jackson Pollock, who painted the crap on the right, is praised as a "great" "artist" even though what he paints looks like something most of our children can poop out.

It’s cloying, it’s sentimental, it’s idealized, it’s even tacky and can be found on the walls of the finest ‘modular’ homes but God help me I can’t say I don’t have some appreciation for his work.

Norman Rockwell had similar criticism in his time. Mind you I’m not comparing Rockwell to Kinkade.
