Yesterday I received a postcard from Palanga, Lithuania with this statue of Eglė, the Queen of Serpents. I had never heard of her but looked it up and it's a very popular fairy tale of a woman, Eglė, who was taken under the sea to marry the King of Serpents. Her family ended up killing him so she was so heartbroken she turned her 4 children and herself into trees. I don't know about that ending but I love a good sea related myth!
That got me inspired to do this:
It's got all my favorite colors! I could draw sea nymphs and creatures all day, every day and be a happy girl! I especially like my serpents.
