Here is a painting I did not too long ago that I am very happy with. I entered it into to competitions in hope of getting in, but alas, it was for all for not... Nevertheless, I am still pleased with it. Watercolor on 190lb. Arches watercolor paper. She is a selkie, a seal that turns into a human. Some one has stolen her sealskin so she can't turn back into a seal.

Male Selkie Mythology
The Selkie transformed into a beautiful woman and became a delight to the eyes of fishermen. 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.

Selkies are known in Scottish, Icelandic, and Faroese folklore, and are creatures who can take either a human or a seal form. Tales of selkies are often tragic love stories where the selkie is kept in captivity in human form, or where they cannot return to land back to their lover.
