I was looking for a painting which I'm sure art critics would see as heavy-handed and obvious, but it has stuck in my mind.
As I recall it: it was a likeness of Jesus as a little toddler in his father's carpentry shop. He is bending over to pick up a nail. The sun shines in, in the pattern of a cross.
Anyone know the painting I am describing? Got a link?

A reader kindly emailed me this link.
That is indeed the painting. I'm wondering whether it's available without the caption.
With the photoshop resources you have, it should be a breeze to paint out the writing with the background of the letters. Why not go that route?
If you mean personal PS resources, so far PS has defeated me. I own it, but haven't figured it out AT ALL. But thanks.
Dan,
Here is a link you might check out. There are several cuts of Jesus in his childhood http://www.biblical-art.com/biblicalsubject.asp?id_biblicalsubject=562&pagenum=1

Dan,
I've removed the caption

Thanks, Patrick. Do you mind if I link to it in the post?
No I don't mind.
I also liked how you said the "likeness" of Jesus. I don't know if that was intentional on your part or what, but since we don't have a portrait of Jesus Himself, it's important to state that it is his "likeness" and not Him, Himself especially, when it comes to the God-Man.
