"Seller of Purple" Giclée Print by Samantha Long

This giclée is printed on Moab Entrada Rag Natural archival artist paper, a 100% cotton smooth fine art paper, with Canon Lucia pigment inks. It is guaranteed not to fade for at least 100 years. The print is sold unframed with a 1/2" white border for framing ease.

This painting is an illustration for the book, Dear Divine Daughter, of Lydia, seller of purple. Despite her position as a propertied widow of some means, she accepted the Christian faith wholeheartedly. She supported Paul and Silas in their Philippian mission and was a great strength to the fledgling Church. I painted this woman in purple garb as a representation of her divine worth and as a reminder that accepting the Gospel of Jesus Christ is ennobling and enriches our lives immeasurably.
