Wife/GF fight over estate

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.

He left notes regarding the GF... this ought to be a great catfight.

Hopefully more exciting than his paintings...

ZIIIIIIIIIIIING

Agreed, JJ...

I never really liked his paintings either.

Bland is what comes to mind.

your name is spelled wrong, it should be Selma Bouvier

Being the "country" type, we have a good bit of Thomas Kinkade in our house

I dunno... they just look like something your would see at one of those traveling starving artists sales... "Sofa sized oil paintings, starting at $22!!"

^^^pretentious art collector^^^

first of all, the TV ad was that none are more than $69

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

Just for the record, none of ours are "Over the sofa" size Ours are smaller (In the hall, bottom of stairs, kitchen) types.

I wonder if Kinkade ever painted nudes...glowing highlights and saturated pastel colors.....

You're a scary man!

Hmmmmm--I'd buy one!

50 Shades of What?

50 Shades of Grey Hair, of course.

many of the originals are now commanding very high prices...
