Love So Close Yet So Far

Opposites attract, but can such attraction conquer the love of one's home? Such was the challenge faced by two powerful Nordic gods, Njord and Skadi.
To keep their wedded bliss the Vanir God Njord of the Seas and the Jotunn Goddess Skadi of the Winter Hunt attempted to live in Skadi's precious mountains.
Then they tried to live on the coast of Njord's treasured seas.  But to no avail as both found the sounds, creatures and smells of their partners cherished homes so disgusting they could not spend even another day in those lands. So, it came to be that Skadi and Njord left each to return to their own homes, never to be together again.
Both are plastic that I painted earlier this month. For more on their stories check out these links:
