Yes, alcoholism being one of them. He also was pushing his Christianity in a seedy way. He did have talent, but he ending up painting just what he thought would sell.

Haha, like this:
There's a place in France
Where the ladies wear no pants
But the men don't care
'cause they don't wear underwear
You know, a children's song!
