Moonlit Village Where C'thulhu Sleeps

"In my travels throughout America I've noticed that churches are often built on a hillside or knoll as a means of emphasizing their presence in a town, and I find this to be a particularly poignant concept. These hillside churches, like lighthouses, are high up, so that, figuratively speaking, their light might be seen from afar. I wanted to capture a bit of that feel in my painting, Moonlit Village.

— Thomas Kinkade"

He's laying it on pretty thick here. If this scene exists somewhere in his "travels throughout America" it must be an America on Mars. I would like a more specific description of its location. It looks like a church in Switzerland. Or Canada. Or Germany. Or Austria. Or France. Or Norway. Or Russia. I have no idea where this would be in America. Thomas Kinkade must be filled with a spirituality that knows bounds only experienced by the holiest of men in China and India and Tibet that the geographical location of a church house that is at a higher elevation than the "town" is poignant to him. In fact, it's "particularly" poignant. The whole "concept" kind of throws him into a spiritual whirlwind of wonder and admiration and love. Now, I have never noticed that little scenic churches ACTUALLY ARE higher in geological elevation than other buildings in the townships in America that - I guess - are being spoken of here. I mean, is this really a building-practice that is commonly adhered to in little rural plaiinslands and scenic mountain vistas with narrow lakes between rows of mountain peaks here in the USA? I guess I just don't keep my eyes open. Is is possible that what he's saying is just bullshit?? No. That is not possible. OK, now, about this "moonlit" business. IS THAT THE MOON OF THE ANTAGABA STAR SYSTEM IN THE GAMPINAAK GALAXY WE'RE LOOKIN' AT THOM 'CAUSE IT'S PRETTY FUCKING GODDAMN BRIGHT!!!! You could do needlepoint in your tent in the woods with the lights out, camping under that moon 'cause that thing is a fucking blast furnace, let me tell ya. Can someone please tell me how a guy that paints a lifeless moonlit scene with not even one moonlit effect makes millions of dollars a year as an "artist"? There really must be a a miraculous Jesus still at work. Because this guy's life on easy street selling painted mulch to idiots is the greatest miracle since the Resurrection.
