"A Selkie Reunited With Her Skin". Morgan Pallas. Watercolor on Cotton Paper. 5"x7"

A fisherman out on an evening walk along the shore comes upon the most beautiful woman he's ever seen. She's dancing naked under the full moon. He then notices a seal skin, stashed behind some rocks. He realizes he's come across a selkie woman. Knowing that she cannot return to the sea without her skin, he takes her sealskin and hides it away in his home. Later on, desperate to find her missing skin, she comes to his modest home on the coast to ask for help.

Time passes and the fisherman and selkie come to love each other, they marry and she bares him many children. One day, while her husband is out at sea, the children are playing and they come across a sealskin. The children bring the skin to their mother and the selkie recognizes it as her own. Taking her skin, she kisses her wee children goodbye, and returns to the sea. Later on, the fisherman returns home to find the children in tears and his wife nowhere to be found. He realizes what must've happened, the skin is no longer where he'd hidden it for all those years.
