About those spotted cows - Holstein or Hereford? We have both here along with Jersey, Ayrshires, Short Horn, Guernsey, etc.. Spotted mostly being the Holstein or Hereford dependng of colors of spots, etc.
I have lived near and viewed the Grand Canyon, the Golden Gate Bridge, New York's Statue of Liberty, and Germany's pubs and castles; but give me my rolling hills, cattle spotted fields, a new snow fall and glistining icicles from a rooftop, children not afraid to play in their green grasses and catching fireflies on a cool summer night. I live 1 hour from the great Snowshoe Ski Resort, 10 min. from the 5-Star Greenbrier Resort, golfing place of Sam Snead and the secret underground bunker for our President of the US.

everyone shops at Sam's, and therefore everyone has the same clutter in their houses/yards. Consumers are like kids: we see Jane has a spotted dog, therefore we have to have a spotted dog.

Not all true here. Of course, we are quite rural and my dog of choice is my purebred Boxer named Sasquatch Gingersnaps Samantha. (otherwise known as Sami).
About the Kincade theory, I tend to agree with what Michele states; nor do I know where my art falls in that category. Unfortunately for the majority of art here, it is the old "champagne taste and a beer budget" with tastes often of the Big Mac and cotton candy, both of which I have consumed. Hence my dilemma. I love where I am and paint my heart out, and I am constantly tossing around any possibilities out there to best market my work.The Kincades sell well here. No, I have none personally. I do fair with commissions but even those have become a little scarce. I attribute that to several possibilities, one being of my own doing as I seem to have let life and its happenings kind of halt my creativeness therefore not doing my usual assertiveness.
Well, enough here of my thought processes and I bid you a good night. Love this site!
