The world is so pretty and all a-glow...

... when you're drunk.

ADDED: Via commenter Seven Machos, the AV Club says:

Landscape painter Thomas Kinkade?known as the ?Painter Of Light? because he trademarked that phrase for himself, and as a purveyor of patriotic and Christian-themed images that are meant to contain a ?larger moral dimension??has been busted for drunk driving. It?s part of a pervasive pattern of self-destructive behavior for Kinkade, whose innocuous, assembly-line images of peaceful cottages, Jesuses, and snow scenes have made him the nation?s self-described ?most collected artist,? which is sort of like Velveeta bragging that it?s ?America?s most sought-after cheese.? As Kinkade himself once said, ?We have found a way to bring to millions of people an art that they can understand,? which just about sums up his Norman Rockwell-meets-Walmart approach.
