Murphy found this at the Goodwill for me, and it's just way to freaking cool.
First off, it's the perfect peice of SoBIG art (So Bad It's Good) as it satisfies both my preoccupation with slightly disturbing religious devotional art AND my love of garage sale paint-by-number paintings! Could it GET any better?
Why, yes! Yes it could!
The fine detail! No lumpy bits! No painting outside the line! The fine brushwork! Who painted it? Was it someone who really loved the Last Supper and wanted a really nice one and not one of those cheesy paper prints with the raised detail or 3-D effect (although really, the latter would be pretty fucking cool)? Or was it a relaxing summer project for a cottaging Catholic?
Oh those Sunday Morning Finds, It really was all about you Q! That Sunny Sunday Morning just mins before the home depot run!!
u know that run???
Amen!

I'm a lapsed Catholic. We're raising our nephew with knowledge of a higher power, yet without structured religion. His grandmother is very anti-religion. Much hilarity evolved around a Christmas gift purchased for her at his elementary school's 'holiday boutique' a few years back.
He kept alluding to his special gift for grandma as a portrait of "G and his friends", obviously mistaking the Son for the Father. When she opened her foiled, 3-D rendering of The Last Supper, nephew assumed she was laughing with joy and no one was cruel enough dis-abused him of the notion. Later she confessed that she was laughing so hard, she peed her pants...
