Proverbs 8:1-2 (ANIV)
Wisdom’s call
1 Does not wisdom call out?
Does not understanding raise her voice?
2 On the heights along the way,
where the paths meet, she takes her stand;

DRAWING NOTES:

TIME OF DAY:
Not specified in the Bible. I have set this scene in the morning.

LIGHTING NOTES:
Sunlight (above and to the left) casts shadows to the right of figures and objects.

CHARACTERS PRESENT:
Lady Wisdom is standing on an orange-brown rock, calling out to the people below her.
Various people walking.

RESEARCH/ADDITIONAL NOTES:
When king Solomon (among others) wrote the book of Proverbs he personified various characters in it. Wisdom is characterised as a woman. In the scene above she is standing on a rock, overlooking two pathways that meet and lead towards a town. On the rock Lady Wisdom calls to people, offering her wisdom to anyone who would like it.

Here’s the scene without the figures in the foreground.

I enjoyed drawing the river and waterfall, with the stepping stones leading across it. I haven’t drawn a lot of Bible Cartoons with rivers or water in, so this is a lovely departure for me from that perspective!

Notice the cave in the rock cliff of the background. I found photograph reference on the internet for the Banias falls, in the Golan heights of Israel, which this scene is based on.
