Artist's Comments

A bit of an art historic comment... I'll spare you the essay but this is pretty deliberate, "old school" straight forward work.
Inspired by the Sisters of Mercy song of the same name, somewhat.

It's digital, but I did do quite a bit of traditional sketch work and hybridization to get the final digital work ready.
Original work 10" x 40", archival giclée on canvas.
I found out today from the gallery that the original just sold.


Thanks for checking it out.
Look up the Sister's of Mercy song too if you are not already familiar with it. It is great!

It's terribly beautiful, really. The colors work great, the little cut (or geels?, I do get something fish-like from her with those fins and all, it is some form of a mermaid?), and her 'pose'. It's incredible...

Wow this is really great, I love the use of color and all the texture! And the way she glows! Beautiful details in the face and down to the fingers too. The length of this piece seems to translate a little strangely for me tho...I'm not sure if it's the orientation or what, because she kinda looks like she's lying down but then it looks like I'm viewing her sideways at the same time. I'd like to have seen it in the gallery, I'm sure it'd be better then scrolling to the right to view it heh. :)

I never really thought of Marian as being a siren, there is that whole I hear you calling across the water across the waves bit. That adds alot more to the song, not that a sister's song really needs any help, but I will never think of it quite the same. She is really beautiful.

No wonder this was sold... it's such a lovely work of art... and ha! Inspired by a song by Leonard Cohen... Nothing can go wrong with that ;-)
