A color study created during the development of The Selkie’s Plight. This small original captures an early exploration of the painting’s color palette and atmosphere before moving into the final work.
Inspiration for this piece: In Scottish and Irish folklore, selkies are shapeshifters who transform from seals into humans. Their sealskins are the source of their magic, and those pelts can be stolen to trap selkies in human form. In this painting, a selkie woman weighs whether the freedom to choose her form is worth the risk of losing it.
Details:
Original, one of a kind oil painting on canvas panel, 5”x7”. Signed by the artist, unframed. Finished with Gamvar varnish (satin).
Typically ships within one week. Includes certificate of authenticity.
Please note that colors may vary slightly between digital images and the physical painting due to monitor differences.
