Sedna's Abridged Story::::
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Sedna was an Inuit woman. She was beautiful and very vain about it, she refused to marry all the men that asked for her until a strange foreigner came. He promised her that she would always have a warm home, blubber for candle light, and good food to eat. She married the man and he took her to his home far away, but as it turned out, the man was not only a liar but he also was not even human. He was a bird, and he treated Sedna poorly. Sedna's father came to take her away, but the bird wouldn't have it and he tossed the sea until Sedna's father threw her overboard so that he could save himself. However, Sedna clung to the side of the boat until her father cut her fingers off and she fell into the deep. Sedna survived, in a fashion. ... She became the Goddess of the Underworld, dwelling at the bottom of the sea.
-------------------------------------------------------------------

I remember thinking as a very young child first hearing this story that if I were Sedna, I wouldn't have waited for my father to come and save me. -___- I'd have dealt with it then and there. I was a frightening child.

I have never heard of this story before; it sounds truly amazing~!

The painting that you have done is truly phenomenal! It is really good and the colors are more of a simpler tone which makes it even better, I think!

Perpetual brilliance

The balance of weight and motion, the elegant choice of palette... just the hint of red reflected everywhere gives this such a sense of completion. Extraordinary piece.
