You'd have thought she'd have realised it wasn't working and stopped long before she painted over all of it!

Perhaps she'll turn to bran surgery.

I think they need to give a picture of the woman to art galleries, museums and churches just in case she goes touting for restoration work, hopefully not a self portrait though!

"[i]Perhaps she'll turn to bran surgery.[/i]"

Are you suggesting she's a cerealist painter?

To be fair, she did quite a good job on the tunic...

It's the description from the BBC Europe correspondent that kills me: " BBC Europe correspondent Christian Fraser says the delicate brush strokes of Elias Garcia Martinez have been buried under a haphazard splattering of paint. The once-dignified portrait now resembles a crayon sketch of a very hairy monkey in an ill-fitting tunic, he says"

i must confess that the thread title made me think of a profanisaurus style definition and i wasn't quite sure if i should open it up at work.

Anyone remember a similar incident in an English village church a few years ago? A YTS squad, who were doing a bit of painting and decorating, decided to go the extra mile and freshen up a rare mediaeval mural - with Dulux gloss.
