I find this humorous.

It's one thing to stage a do-it-yourself renovation on a table, mirror or painting found deep in the weeds of a yard sale.

It's quite another to attempt a repair job on a one-of-a-kind 19th century fresco by the Spanish painter Elias Garcia Martinez with a few broad brushstrokes.


Such was the lesson learned by an elderly member of the Santuario de Misericodia church in Borja, in northeastern Spain. Her handiwork, or lack thereof, was discovered after the painter's granddaughter donated the work, "Ecce Homo," to the archive of religious paintings housed at the Centro de Estudios Borjano, also in Borja.

When officials from the center went to examine the work at the church a few weeks ago, they found it was not as Martinez had left it, the U.K.'s Telegraph reported.

The last photo taken of the artwork before any damage was done, in 2010, showed Martinez's intricate brush strokes around the face of Jesus. A photo taken in July by center officials for a catalog of regional religious art showed the painting splattered by white marks, possibly the work of the woman trying to remove paint. The final photo, taken this month after Martinez's relative donated the work, showed broad and thick layers of paint now covering important details in the work, such as the crown of thorns on Jesus' head.

Don't even look like Jesus. In my bible, growing up, he had straight sandy blond hair and blue eyes. That's a fake.

Doesn't the Bible say it's a sin for guys to have long hair and long beards? I thought Jesus was perfect.

oh blah blah then in the next chapter it says you're going to hell if you don't have long hair. Who can keep up?

Point is, this Spanish grandma is definitely going to hell.

Does not even nature itself teach you that if a man has long hair, it is a dishonor to him.

Corinthians or something.
