Another fairytale, in which a fisherman steals a selkie's seal skin and gets her to marry him. While she makes a dutiful wife, she is never able to forget her seal husband and children, nor can she stop pining for the sea.

Entirely digital, for a change, and therefore rougher than I usually do, since I'm not very practised at painting. But the colours make it all worth it.

I really like this story. It's pretty awesome that you thought to make a picture of it.

Is this the picture from Iona Leigh's album 'Beside the Waves of Time'? Beautiful

:iconphotia:
Yes, sort of! This is the (old) picture that I modified to become the album cover. The actual cover is more muted and better painted. It really makes my day that that you recognized the image!
