Oops. I didn't mean to post that! I was saving it for later. Oh well. I guess I might as well leave it up. Don't you love these paintings of Rebecca? Inspiring!

Re: Rebecca At the Well
I was going to write about them. It takes some work to resize them so they fit!
You know, it's likely better that I don't adulterate these nice images with my blathering.

Well I would like to read your blatherings, I always enjoy them, they make me smile, laugh and more often than not, reflect. I do like the painting by the way.

Re: Rebecca At the Well
That's very kind of you, café. Well, I wrote in my journal about the first image:
One of my favorite portrayals of Rebecca is that done by Nicola Grassi. This painting depicts Rebecca trying on the Jewelry offered by Abraham through his servant. Grassi's Rebecca stands with an arm extended to Eliezer as if she thoroughly enjoys her femininity. While extending her arms and curving her fingers in graceful beauty, she seems almost unaware of it. Her towering height above the man and everyone else puts emphasis on her station.
These paintings give us a woman who is truly worthy to be my daughter's hero! Someone that respects herself enough to have confidence and deeply feel of her independence

I think it's the most sensual of the images you posted, though all of them show some.

Re: Rebecca At the Well
Was this one of them?
Z, if you are using Google Images it will often (at the bottom) give you options for "more sizes". This will save you the trouble of resizing.
