Church painting is put on the map (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

chart

'put on the map' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'church painting' is the wordplay.
'church' becomes 'ch' (common abbreviation).
'painting' becomes 'art' (painting is an art).
'ch'+'art'='CHART'

'is' is the link.

(Other definitions for chart that I've seen before include "Nautical map" , "Table or diagram" , "Hit parade" , "Plan" , "Navigational map" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
