Streets of Fire

Some things written by Jeff Kelley, a man in Richmond, Va. He likes aircraft carriers but doesn't really know the intricacies of them (weight, length, etc.)
This painting, hanging above our bed at the beach house, was done by Thomas Kinkade’s lesser-known brother, Sal. Known for his impressionistic style and works that literally extended from the canvas onto their frames, Sal Kinkade made a modest living selling paintings from the back of his Chevrolet Van throughout the 1980s. This particular print, which Kinkade did during what commercial art historians refer to as his “Mustache and Chef Boyardee Period,” features a path to the beach with a woman’s abandoned sun hat and picnic basket. Sal Kinkade would later admit to taking that woman as she walked to the beach, smothering her, eating her ham sandwich and barbecue chips, placing her decapitated head into the basket, then painting this bucolic scene onto a canvas and frame for visitors of beach houses around the world to enjoy/make up stories about. Sal Kinkade is currently serving a life sentence and wears creepy bifocals.
