Jesus Speaks with the Samaritan Woman at the Well
Jesus sits on the stone rim of a well while a woman holding a clay jar stands facing him. Wheat fields and a mountain are behind them.
Prompt
John 4: Jesus and the woman of Samaria at Jacob's well. At noon beside the low stone rim of Jacob's well near Sychar, the Samaritan woman, large and central, holds a clay water jar on her hip and pauses, astonished, as Jesus, sitting wearied on the edge of the well, looks up and speaks to her of living water. A rope and leather bucket rest on the well's rim; golden wheat fields white unto harvest and Mount Gerizim rise behind under a bright blue sky. Style: a blend of photo-realism and cinema, like a still from a big-budget film. Bright, rich, saturated, luminous colour, clear daylight or glowing golden light even in dramatic scenes, never murky or muddy, crisp detail, real human faces full of emotion, shallow depth of field, subtle film grain. Simple, uncluttered composition: ONE clear scene from this chapter, with the chapter's main character or characters large, close and central in the upper and middle frame, and a simple background. No montage, no collage, no inset vignettes, no crowd of small figures competing for attention. Historically accurate ancient Near Eastern clothing, architecture and landscape. Keep the bottom quarter of the frame simple and uncluttered (ground, water or sky) so a large chapter number can be set over it. Absolutely no text, no letters, no words, no numbers, no logos, no watermark, no border, no frame.
