I saw a show of thrift store paintings in the 80's at Metro Pictures Gallery that aritst Jim Shaw curated. It was incredible and very well received at the time.

My opinion...

Some of them work when the colors and style of what was added blends well with the original...so the scene has a cohesive appearance.

Others, not so much.

There's more than one way to skin a Thomas Kinkade, the Painter of Light™.

I love them, thanks for the posting.
