i know, i'm laughing every time i look at it.. & now there's a video interview with the culprit herself. (original link) she doesn't look at all embarrassed, she's bold as brass!!!

& the interpreters tone had me going too, then the old girl blames the priest!!.. then they pan from the alter to the painting.. gawd lol

Didn't you once post your own artwork in the same vein as this one?

Maybe I'm wrong, but didn't you paint like a stretching sculpture or something?
