Description For entry in *dAPagan 's God/Goddess Contest

This is Canola, the Celtic Goddess of Music. She is one of the oldest Celtic deities. Legend tells that while walking along the ocean’s shore she was enchanted by beautiful ephemeral music carried on the wind. Determined to find the source of the music she followed it to the vast skeleton of a whale lying on the beach. She realized that it was the wind beating upon the dried sinews stretched between the ribs of the whale that created the music. This inspired her to create Ireland’s long cherished symbol, the harp.

Stock Credits:

Hi,

I am the sales manager for an Irish record label and came across your very impressive Canola:Celtic Goddess of Music image. We are currently compiling an Irish Harp CD and I wanted to see if you would be interested in allowing me use your artwork. Do you have a license fee.
I look forward to your reply.

Regards,

Paul

At first when I saw it from a distance and zoomed out, I thought the harp was made from her hair. That'd be whooooaaaa cool.

....I like how she glows sorta.

Thanks I had decided to to the contest for *dAPagan , and hadnt decided which God or Goddess to depict. So I went to look thru the stock pics, and the first pic that caught my eye was the picture of Hoozer with the Harp, and it just clicked into place. I actually searched and searched on google until I found the celtic goddess of music just so I could use that picture
