As far as painters of light go....I'll take Maxfield Parish hands down.

Well, that's really an unfair comparison.
The "master of light" seems to have totally neglected the parallel world of shadows.

He seems to have gotten to a point, technically, and then stopped learning.

I guess it is. That's why I have Parrish prints in my home, and not any of that Kinkade stuff. It's too cheesey for my taste. Not that I'm an expert or anything....

I think the master of light got cash in his pocket for his style of paintings. And then churned them out without varying from his routine. I rented a room from one such painter in the early '70's. He spent his time painting the same painting over and over with small variations. People were paying thousands for his work. I forget his name. He was a nice enough sleezebag.
