"Eggs Benedict"
Take a look at this painting.
It took me a few seconds to even notice that Jesus is holding a small frying pan with an egg in it.
The name of the piece? "Eggs Benedict." Hee hee.
"Eggs Benedict" was done by a Baltimore-based artist named Emily Uchytil (dig her site).
I first saw Emily's work hanging in the Idle Hour (201 E. Fort Ave.) a couple months ago. I sent her an e-mail asking her more about her work, but never heard back.
Either way, I really like this piece.
Great stuff, Emily.

Comments
If the faithful don't have a great sense of humour, it may be received with some of the outrage of the following Surrealist painting.
(Max) Ernst drew a great deal of controversy with his 1926 painting "The Virgin Chastises the infant Jesus before Three Witnesses: André Breton, Paul Éluard, and the Painter"

GA, yes, the blogs page has changed, at least. Shankman -- good call. Since it's so dark, it was hard for me to tell.
