Yes, but he was probably going to use the excuse of his wife dying/going to a mental hospital as having “too much grief”. He could’ve also used the loosing his muse excuse despite the fact “he” never painted people. When this happens to artists, their previous paintings would have skyrocketed and he would never have to paint again. For an added measure, if he or the best friend were smart enough they could have pretended that his painting hand was injured during the accident that harm/killed the wife again ensuring no one looked into it too closely.
