World-famous artist Thomas Kinkade’s wife and girlfriend are battling over his tens of millions of dollars, each laying claim to the late painter’s vast real estate holdings.

Fifty-four-year-old painter Thomas Kinkade was dating Amy Pinto-Walsh when he died in April of an alcohol and valium overdose. He had been separated for two years from his wife of 30 years, Nanette Kinkade.

Separated = not being divorced.

So isn't it the wife's fortune.

what they convienently do not tell you is that the frames for the sofa sized paintings cost another $75

and yes, I bought one this past winter for over my sofa

I like the colors
