Sea Horse Kelpie Tapestries

A marker drawing of a hippocampus sea horse diving beneath the waves.

From the dark water; a scary monster comes

This is a watercolor painting I created of a blue and green kelpie horse with a drippy starfish ornament and gold accents.

A water kelpie is a mythical beast said to inhabit the lochs of Scotland. It's a shape-shifter than appears as a horse that can also appear human. While kelpies playing in the waves may present no threat, beware any bearing a saddle and bridle. The creature may allow you to ride it... straight down beneath the waves. Is such a creature real? You be the judge. Beings by other names are described in lore around the world. Rendered in 3D using Daz3D and Photoshop
