refactoring

This seems like an easy enough issue but I can't seem to find the keywords to effect my searches.

I'm trying to unit test by mocking out all objects within this method call. I am able to do so to all of my own creations except for this one:

public void MyFunc(MyVarClass myVar)
{
    Image picture;
    ...

    picture = Image.FromStream(new MemoryStream(myVar.ImageStream));

    ...
}

FromStream is a static call from the Image class (part of c#). So how can I refactor my code to mock this out because I really don't want to provide a image stream to the unit test.
