I thought so too. I needed that yesterday. I'm not for the destruction of great art, but it definitely tickled my funny bone.

Oh my! The story continues... Maybe they should leave it as is and ask for free will offerings. Thanks for keeping me apprised of the latest. :)

Poor little old Mrs. Gimenez:)

As my now 7 year old said, "She tried her best."

I just didn’t like that Mawnet painting. It looked so old. That’s why I glued my favorite doggie poker playing black velvet over it..........
