We are the Woman at the Well

copyright Valerie Sjodin 2011

    I love this story (John 4 in the Holy Bible). It always speaks to me, reminding me of God's love for each one of us and how He seeks us out, right where we're at.

    This page was actually my first page, but I forgot to put it at the beginning of the Woman at the Well series I posted. But I suppose it also fits here too because the Lord is drawing me closer and wants to be close to us all the time. 

     I painted over the original background because I didn't like it and then painted a plastic doilie with gold paint and pressed it onto the "sun" part of the page. I made a stencil of a woman carrying water and traced it onto a shaving cream painted paper. After I glued the figure onto the page I outlined it with gold and black pens. Then I coated the whole page with matte medium. After drawing the letters with chalk I used a black Pitt pen to outline the letters and added paint to the inside and border.
