A small painting of Uinen

[bunn]

"Uinen, the Lady of the Seas, whose hair lies spread through all waters under sky. All creatures she loves that live in the salt streams, and all weeds that grow there"


I actually started this as a drawing of a seal underwater, but there was an awkward space on the right of the seal that seemed to need something putting there.

And a pencil drawing of a dancing lady:

Uinen in the weeds is just gorgeous! Full of movement...

I love these! Uinen flows really well.

I like both of these.
I'm reminded, somehow, that Oxford Dictionaries's word of the day was "fouette".
The seal looks a bit surprised at Uinen's turning up,I think.

Beautiful, you have a real gift.

Thank you! Her face has come out a bit weird-looking in the photo though, I think it's made all the lines a little stronger, and maybe added a little more blue so she looks a bit more alien in the painting... It's surprising how different things look via the camera.

Thanks! Well, so she should.

I think seals always look a bit surprised, don't they? It's the big round eyes...

Thanks!

I know it is me but my very dirty mind is seeing the seal looking at me like "Dude really? You want to watch this? A little privacy please?"

:-D I can confirm that you do indeed have a filthy mind.

I can never see these things when I paint them and then I put them on LJ and inevitably.... :-DDDD

Tut!
