A personal note about this selkie painting:

This watercolor and ink painting depicts a mythological selkie shedding her skin to rescue and clothe a drowning young man. I also wrote the following poem to accompany it:

I want to hear you sing
In a language I don’t understand
Pull me like a suture
With your sanguine hennaed hand
I want to see your reflection
In waters where sirens swim
Disrobe me like a selkie
And wrap me in your skin
Sing to me
Sing to me
Sing to me
Crash me in the rocks
And drown me
