== Biography ==
He has been hosting Vermont's number one painting show for nearly three decades. However, his status as a superstar of public broadcasting is challenged when the TV station hires Ambrosia, a younger painter who has more skill and versatility than Carl. As a result, his timeslot is taken over by Ambrosia, and his ability to seduce his co-workers is also challenged.
After an embarrassing fundraising drive, the station manager decides to fire Carl and gets him a job teaching painting classes at a nearby college. However, he is too depressed to teach. The true love of his life, Katherine, comes to his aid when she realizes that she has wasted her life waiting for his approval. Meanwhile, Carl realizes that he has been a foolish and vain playboy. The two confess their love for each other, and Carl's barn accidentally burns down, leaving the town to believe that he is dead. In reality, he is living a simple life with Katherine.
