Snow Queen is a winter-themed painting with a touch of magic. The woman, young and beautiful, is clearly a Goddess. Her Nordic looks suggest that she is Freya, the Norse Goddess of love, beauty, fertility, war, death, and sorcery. She was part of the Vanir, a people believed to have practiced witchcraft and to have a strong connection to the earth.

I’ve pictured her overseeing a snow globe or crystal ball, depending on how you view it, containing a snowy night forest scene. The background where she resides is full of frost laden branches. Light snow is falling. It’s twilight.

There’s a hint of ambivalence in her calm gaze. I intentionally used a contemporary model to bring Freya into the here and now. I want the viewer to sense the strength that lies beneath her blonde beauty.

The original painting was sold in May 2021 so making it available in prints (https://www.etsy.com/your/shops/AnnElizabethScott/tools/listings/971442499) and now in cross stitch.
