This was my entry for the Nibblefest Art Contest when the theme was "Mythology," and I chose to do a piece on the Sirens. In Greek mythology, their music was played to persuade passing sailors to linger, thus causing thier death (oh dear!). However sinister, I still find them to be beautiful creatures, and those who fight the temptation are an inspiration!

This piece is pyrographed (woodburned) and painted with acrylic paint on oak, with a coat of varnish to protect it.
