Description This is my interpretation of the Orisha Oshun. She is a "goddess" of the Yoruba religion. She is the embodiment of love, delights in the creation of beauty and art, sensual delights and self-adornment. Others are charmed by her beauty, enticed by her sensuality, yearn to emulate her grace. "Oshun is the owner of the river." She lives in the currents and eddies of the river where her force moves ever forward. Traditions agree that this vain orisha binds people and orishas together. She adores fine clothes and beautiful objects. She is the sweetness of love. She is the dance of passion. She is the cool water that heals the sick abdomen and brings children to the barren. Oshun provides renewal when no one else can.

Wow. Wonderful inspiration, I love it when people leave an artists comment to really let the viewer know where the artist was coming from with a particular piece. Great shading, and the hair looks very realistic, in a stylized sort of way. Great job!
