Artist's Comments

i know, a norse goddess. how cliche.
i was mostly using this as a study in fabric and different colours than my normal palette, but i'm rather pleased with how it turned out, so it's a deviation.

freya is the goddess of sex, lust, fertility, love, war and wealth. busy girl.
she lives in folkvang and each day chose half of the slain warriors to split with odin.
she's wearing the precious brisings' necklace, which she acquired by sleeping with four dwarves. she also owns a feather cloak, which allows to her travel between worlds.
but it's not all dwarf-orgies and jet-setting in the world of freya, no! she lost her husband, and she cries golden tears for him. alas, poor freya!! maybe he left her after he heard about her hanky-panky with the dwarves?

freya is the most beautiful of the goddesses, but don't oggle too much. she changed one admirer, ottar, into a boar.

freya likes long romantic walks to the convenience store, watching movies, going to parties and having fun. to contact freya, or to browse more mythological norse singles, get in touch with us.

That last bit of your description made me laugh. :giggle: Anyway, this is a gorgeous picture, the detail in the pattern of her dress is amazing. Beautiful work.

She is beautiful! I love the fact that you've depicted her so differently from the norm, and your story of her was so thorough! (I keep up with my Goddesses!) Gorgeous work all the way around. Gotta fav her!
