      A native English speaker would likely read that title to mean that the priest was the one holding the paintbrush.

          You can disagree with an interpretation, but you can’t disagree that someone else interpreted a sentence the way they did. The comments and upvotes in the comments tell you very clearly how others are interpreting it.

          As a +1 explicit data point, I’ll tell you right now that I also read it as the priest being the painter at first.
