Sedna's Love
In Inuit mythology, Sedna was the goddess of the sea and the whale was her most magnificent subject.
Humpback whales are known for their magical songs, which travel for great distances through the world’s oceans. These sequences of moans, howls, cries, and other noises are quite complex and often continue for hours on end. Both male and female humpback whales produce sounds, however only the males produce the long, loud, complex “songs” for which the species is famous. Each song consists of several sounds in a low register that vary in amplitude and frequency, and typically lasts from 10 to 20 minutes. Humpbacks have been observed to sing continuously for more than 24 hours. Cetaceans have no vocal cords, so whales generate their song by forcing air through their massive nasal cavities. Scientists are studying these sounds to decipher their meaning. It is most likely that humpbacks sing to communicate with others and to attract potential mates. You can hear them sing here:

Sensational beauty, it is so wonderful.
I wish you were more active on this site. I have missed seeing your beautiful works of art and they are not added to any groups. I have often wondered why. The beauty of the magnificent Humpbacks and the colours of the water are so realistic it is amazing. I could gaze at this for hours I love it so much.
One day when I can I wish to purchase the largest size you have available and display this prominently in our home. I love the Humpbacks and have a special place for them in my heart. I have watched pods of adolescent males playing like puppies, cavorting and leaping into the air from a catamaran in the channel between Maui and Lana’i. I am fascinated knowing they migrate between Alaska and Hawaiian waters. I have heard their beautiful songs when the captain of the cat lowered a mike into the depths of the water so that we could listen to them and I could feel the resonance of their beautiful ocean song deep in my heart. The beauty of your art brings tears to my eyes.

How did I miss this? I’d triple Favorite it if I could. Have you considered placing your work into some groups such as Dolphins & Whales? An exquisite image of my favorite whale species.

P.S. I have a cherished carving done by an Inupiat artist from St. Lawrence Island in the Bering Sea. It masterfully depicts all of Sedna’s sea creatures and their babies while Sedna sits atop all, her long hair flowing, obviously combed by a shaman. Thank you for bringing such beautiful memories to mind.
