He follows a "realistic" style, yet many of his paintings belong in a science fiction/fantasy gallery because they defy the laws of physics or even common sense.



Nobody in their right mind would put a house that close to a stream. As you can see it's still winter and the flooding has already started. Give it another month and that little cottage will either be under two feet of water or fifty miles downstream.



Same problem. As you can see, the river has already started to eat away at the foundation and the gazebo has a distinctive lean. Another year and it'll be the leaning tower of Kinkade.



Notice that the tugs won't fit through the openings in the bridge? There's even one turning around to go back.



Why does a cottage with barely enough room to swing a dead cat need TWO huge fireplaces? And what's up with the winding road up to the side? If a logging truck comes down there he's gonna flip his load right on top of that flowerbed and probably take out the cottage as well.



OK, I guess he's given up putting fireplaces on the ends and now they're smack-dab in the middle of the room. Now you can't swing a dead cat at all.



I'm betting that's supposed to be a sawmill or other water-powered device. You need running water to power that, not a placid lake even if it is canted on a 25 degree angle.



OK, so what's up with his fixation about putting logging trucks through cottages? And he still hasn't made up his mind about the fireplaces - now he's got one of each.



No, the lighthouse goes on the promitary where it can actually be seen, not buried behind a bunch of trees. You also keep the house well away from the lighthouse. I'm also a little dubious about the condition of the cliff, given all the rock at the bottom.

I couldn't find my favourite, which appeared on a previous Kinkade thread. It was one of his typical "houses in snow" scene, all done up for Christmas with two horses parked out front. The problem - you never, ever leave horses saddled standing around in the cold. They'll get sores.
