Selkies

I just finished reading this really great book, “The Sea House” by Elizabeth Gifford. I picked it up because it reminded me of this beautiful cartoon I watched some time ago with my daughter.

If you haven’t watched the Academy Award nominated “Song of the Sea” I highly recommend it. It is a visually stunning cartoon based on the Irish legend of the Selkies.

Needless to say with all this talk of Selkies I decided to try some selkie sketches of my own. Here is my first one.
