I dunno. I like NASCAR, bluegrass music, grilling a big ol' T-bone over charcoal, and driving ATV's all round my mountain property.

But I have Lautrec and Magritte prints on my office and living room wall, and yeah, I'd be embarrassed to put a Kinkade up next to them.

It's almost like taste is a personal thing or sumpin....

What's the saying, "Different strokes for different folks"?There are a few Lautrecs I like, though most appeared he had an obsession with the Moulin Rouge, Vaudville and cat-houses and bars in general. This one is nice:

And this:

Magritte is a lot like Dali, surrealistic and weird. I went to the Salvador Dali museum in St. Petersburg, Florida and was amazed at his work. For the most part, he painted like he was taking LSD but some of them were remarkable. I prefer realistic art like Renoir and Monet. I guess that is why Kinkade appealed to me - not all of his work, but quite a bit.

This is a Magritte I like:
