The Selkieby ~yaamas

Traditional Art / Paintings / Fantasy

There is a tale about a lovely seal that shed her skin as she came upon the shore. She transformed into a beautiful woman and became a delight to the eyes of fishermen in those parts. One day a man took her seal skin as she was bathing in the shallow waters and she soon became the wife of the lonely fisherman. She spent her days as a good and loyal companion to the man until one day she found her skin and she returned to the sea as seal once again.

For this was her destiny, to fill the heart of a lonely man with love and service until she was called back to the sea.

This original was created using watercolors on Arches 140lb cold press paper. It measures 5 1/2 x 9 1/2 inches.

Absolutely stunning image, I absolutely love it. I was wondering if I could have permission to use this image. I'm making a series of cards with mythological images and descriptions to go along with my nail polish line which is named after mythological creatures. I'd really truly love to use this Selkie picture for the card, I think your piece exemplifies the Selkie myth perfectly. If you could get back to me either way I'd really appreciate it. Well done.
