Most of the products sold by Kinkade's galleries are hybrids, consisting of mass-produced prints which are "highlighted;" that is, touched up with actual paint in key areas, by teams of artists working under Kinkade's direction. In "master edition" prints, the most costly, some of the highlighting is said to be done personally by Kinkade himself. Kinkade has won numerous awards including many artist of the year awards of National Association of Limited Edition Dealers (NALED).

Thomas Kinkade was a self-described "devout Christian". He said that his art is not just art -- ''it's a powerful force''.

Some of his art critics say:
<blockquote>
"I think the reason you probably aren't going to find his work in many museums, if any, is that there really wasn't anything very innovative about what he was doing...," said Michael Darling, chief curator of Chicago's Museum of Contemporary Art. "I really think that he didn't bring anything new to art." [http://news.yahoo.com/kinkade-artist-drew-many-fans-few-critical-raves-223158752.html]

Kinkade had a fan base that was unprecedented, and he made collectors out of the many people who brought his art into their homes. [[Ibidem]]
