Description
I spent a little time reading fairy stories... the kind that involve such things as mermaids and sea witches. Since I had them on the brain anyway, I decided to make my own sea witch. This one conjures up thunderstorms, hurricanes, and squalls by reciting ancient incantations from her Book of Storms. Stock used in this piece come from `lockstock for the sea witch, and sxc for the backgrounds and sky.Related content

I certainly would not wish to be in the path of this sea witch. Her intentions are well obvious by the way she holds her poise; and the tyranny that comes to clinging her book of powers. Nicely illustrated my beloved one.

There was a poem that I read many years ago called Abou Ben Adam or something like that. About an angel with a book and in the end, Ben Adam's name leads all the rest. The reason I mention that is that I think my name is near the top in her book. Lighting storms, hurricanes and tornados have all hit my house within the last year and a half. I keep promising to do a tribute painting to the goddess of bad weather, but maybe it is this witch I should be giving tribute to. Maybe then she'd leave me alone.
Anyway, this is a great painting, concept and as always, your descriptions just add to the piece. Excellent work.

OK.... I love... LOVE... the idea of an angel with a book of names. Don't be surprised if I swipe that idea sometime soon. I can pratically see it in my head right this second.
Second, maybe Book of Storms was my prayer to the storm goddess. I love wet or turbulent weather, and it's been so hot and still here lately. After I painted this though, it started to rain quite a bit and I've been loving it.

I would love to see your angel with a book of names.
And from what you said, the storm goddess must appreciate tribute artwork, so I really need to get something done on that. After all, it is hurricane season.
