Brother: Painter Kinkade Relapsed Into Alcoholism

Thomas Kinkade

A family member says painter Thomas Kinkade battled alcoholism over the past several years and had a relapse just before his death at his home in Santa Clara County. Kinkade's brother, Patrick, tells the San Jose Mercury News (http://bit.ly/IxRfr0) that decades of attacks on Kinkade's work and a split with his wife two years ago had taken a toll on the famous "Painter of Light."

Senh: A living artist - well, no longer - whose work makes hundreds of millions a year? Amazing. It's too bad that he succumbed to alcoholism.
