Siren's Lament

Inspired by the rugged sea cliffs and gothic connection of Whitby, a small coastal town in the UK. I like to give the hint of a story with many of my artworks and get the viewer thinking. Is the mermaid mourning the loss of these dead sailors? Or has she lured them to their deaths to add to her skull collection!?
Thanks to photographer Marcus J. Ranum and model Cordula, for the photograph that I used as reference when painting the figure.© Anne Stokes. Available for license.
