Ran had nine daughters whose names were;

Blóðughadda - (bloody hair - maybe the threadlike appearance of water from the crest of a wave)

Bylgia - (billowing)

Dröfn or Bára (comber/foaming wave)

Dúfa - (wave)

Hefring or Hefrenög - (lifting)

Himinglæva - (transparent on top)

Hrönn - (wave)

Kólga - (cool wave)

Uðr or Unnor - (wave and also a name for Odin and the name of a river)

First steps in a new project... feeling my way... ideas forming....one line for each measure on the scale from calm to chaos.... the last to represent Ran.... a progression of colour and tone from pale to dark/deep...loose connections....drifting ideas...

Lisa this looks like you have a great plan. It is always amazing to see what inspires your beautiful art pieces. I always adore your choice of colors too. Well take care friend - will be looking forward to see where this drawing plan takes you next. Hugs!

Hi Debbie, thank you. I will be using my happy palette for these; aqua, seaglass green, turquoise, indigo and everything inbetween. I hope you will enjoy this ocean crossing adventure and remember to pack your sea legs things will get a bit rough ;o)

I hope Gunnar is giving you an easy ride with puppy training - all good fun!

Just saw your most recent post and fell in love with the colors so had to come here and see where the inspiration came from - lovely. Water or moving air in the spring breeze? Either way, they are really interesting and beautiful. Now to read more about Ran and her daughters….

Sorry, Lisa. The top Anonymous commenter was me - wasn’t signed in and didn’t realize it until I’d pressed Publish. I thought computers were supposed to be able to read our minds by now? :)

Hello Rhonda, thank you so much. Between you and me I don't think it will be long before they can ;o) Best wishes, just about to post the next instalment and then have a catch up with everyone. See you soon.
