Art in a Small Town

Art in a Small Town ~ or should I say, Murder in a Small Town? People say, "Thomas Kincaid" or "Bob Ross" with pride. They can throw these names around and feel safe and secure in them, but I cringe. It makes them a member of a club; the same as, I guess, when I say "Van Gogh" or "Matisse," or "Diebenkorn." It's not that I want to be a member of their club. I just wish I could think of a way to bring them comfortably into my club. Sigh.
