First reactions to my picture scan:
1. Naomi is depicted many ways, looking from 40 to 60 or more. Considering they were in Moab 10 years, and her sons married there, probably in their 20s, and Naomi was perhaps 20 at her first child, that’ put her in her 50s.
2. Some of the pictures are great in showing Ruth’s love for Naomi.
3. Orpah’s departure is shown many ways: reluctant, carefree, sad. She is shown departing reluctantly in the Bible after Naomi’s plea for the daughters-in-law to leave her.
4. I still get a kick out of seeing the European clothing used. Yet, since the pictures were for a European audience, perhaps that’s best.
Quite aside from commenting about the art, I also crave viewers' revelations of how the art and text impact them spiritually. I hope most people take their time scrolling down, as you obviously do, to give the Holy Spirit a hearing.
