Dark Portrait of a Painter of Light: Christian-themed artist Thomas Kinkaide is accused of ruthless personal conduct. He disputes the allegations.

12. I'm always trying to find the little numbers in his "paintings"

I'm convinced they're leftover "paint-by-numbers" kits from the early 60's.

but didn't you all have better taste than that? ;)
