Water Sprite
Oil Painting on Canvas
This is a rather large painting that I unfortunately don't have a good
photo of. It's not in my possession since I painted it for a good friend
of mine. It's based on a Swedish folklore creature. An evil water sprite
who lives in lakes and creeks. He plays the violin so beautifully that
women and children hearing it gets beckoned within his reach, whereupon he
grabs them and takes them under water, drowning them. The legend about
him probably partly came about to deter children to play near dangerous waters.
