"Ms. Johnson has ... developed a series of watercolors illustrating the lives of the five women who are listed in Matthew’s genealogy of Jesus (Matthew 1:1-17). The story of Bathsheba is interpreted by Ms. Johnson using a single scene which illustrates King David’s first glimpse of Bathsheba when she is bathing unobserved, she assumes. Bathsheba’s innocence and vulnerability are illustrated in the painting by the depiction of only the back of her head with her hair floating about her. As a married woman, her hair should be decorously bound; however, Bathsheba assumes she is alone, so she has let her hair, her “crowning glory,” free to spread around her. For one brief moment we, who know the denouement of the story, see her virtue and her helplessness in the freely flowing curls."
