This is the second of nine illustrations for a short series for Menno Media for their Shine curriculum. Here we see a scene from the story of the woman at the well. I illustrated this story once before in a previous project for a different client. This is where Jesus tells the woman about who he is and about the figurative water he is offering in the form of his salvation.

An outdoor scene set in biblical times.  A woman stands by a well talking to Jesus who is sitting on a nearby stone wall.  She gestures towards the well.  A distant town can be seen in the background.

I recently completed a short series for Menno Media for their Shine curriculum. This series illustrates 9 scenes from the life of Jesus Christ. This first one shows Jesus and Mary in attendance at a wedding feast. I believe this is the one at Cana where he turns water to wine.

An outdoor scene set in biblical times.  A crowd of people mingle near a stone house, some sitting at a table with food set out.  There are ceramic pots of water in the foreground.  Jesus is speaking to a servant and gesturing towards the water pots.  Mary, Jesus's mother, is watching Jesus.

Grass Dancer Boy

I recently completed a commission for an illustration of a little indigenous boy performing as a grass dancer. The client advised me on what details to include to make him look authentic, since she is indigenous and I am not. She wanted it to match that illustration I made a few years ago of a girl in a jingle dress.
