"The Kiss of Betrayal"

Lots going on today!

Since tomorrow is Good Friday, lots of businesses and such will be closed-- even State!-- so today substitutes for Friday-go-to-town-day. But first I have to get the first coat on. But before that I must post at least a little something. So I turned to a crappy old book, Christ and the Fine Arts, for inspiration. 

Perfect.

There's a nice little commentary to quote. But before I do that, I need to find the color version of this painting. Easy-peasy, right?

How sad is this?

Three search engines later-- including duckduckgo.com which claims to never track anyone-- and I give up. I've got things to do.
