Description This is my first painting of 2010 and was such a fun, organic experience to paint. I really just let go, relaxed and let the artwork 'tell' me how it wanted to be painted, which was such a powerful, liberating experience! It was almost like I was being called by these dark and dangerous beauties to do their bidding - intoxicating! I really didn't want to be finished with it. Called 'Sirens' for obvious reasons, this one is watercolour with a bit of gouache. I hope you like it!

I love the expressions, the dark and brooding feel to this piece is briliant, yet still has a burst of colour and light. Very good
