Description
FULL VIEW PLEASE!My first oil painting!
I bought a kit and had a hell of a time trying to clean it up, since I didnt have any special solvents, so I had to use soap and water. Ive still got some blue and purple on my sleeve that I dont imagine coming out any time soon..
Matching colors is difficult, but it was fun and I didnt give up once. I think it came out neat, her hair looks like ocean waves, which was not what the original intended, but it is fitting considering who she is.
"In Inuit mythology, Sedna is a deity and god of marine animals, especially seals and mammals. Legend has it that one way or antoher, her fingers were chopped and and they became the creatures of the sea. The varying legends each give different rationales for her death at the hands of her father. Sometimes she is the innocent victim, and sometimes she appears to deserve death as punishment for greed or some other evil. But all tales agree that she descended into the depths of the ocean and became the Goddess of Sea Creatures. As such, she became a vital deity, worshipped by hunters who depended on her goodwill to supply food."
