Description
Saint Teresa of Avila was a Spanish Carmelite nun of the sixteenth century who began her calling to the religious life in a very lax & self indulgent manner, not unlike most of the other nuns in her order. Fortunately, she underwent a major conversion, & set about reforming the entire Carmelite order. Along the way, she developed a friendship with a much younger man, Saint John of the Cross, who reformed the male branch of the order. Saint Teresa is recognized as a doctor of the church, & is patron saint of those who suffer migraines. I painted her in acrylics on paper, with pen in hand & the "light of the Holy Spirit" shining on her. The painting measured 8 1/2 x 1 1 inches, but is no longer available. This image, & all of the artwork of Sue Kouma Johnson, is copyrighted, & may not be reproduced in any form, without express permission of the artist. IMPORTANT Each of the sizes indicates Outside Dimensions. in the three options, there is a BORDER OF WHITE left around the image, approximately 1 1/4" to 1 1/2" all around. So, the image is SMALLER than the Paper. Signed by artist.

IMPORTANT There is about an inch-and-a-third of WHITE SPACE around the picture, so the image is smaller than the paper. This helps the image to have a little border of white around it instead of a mat. The colored image DOES NOT go all the way to the edge of the paper. Thanks for your interest!
