Description You hear her voice, late at night, mingled with the sound of the waves crashing on the shore. The song reminds of something you heard long ago - something familiar from your childhood - like the first song you ever loved. But brutally beautiful. So you step out on the beach and you look at the ghosts of waves haunting the shore. Beyond the crests, the ocean is dark, a rolling shadow beneath a stormy sky. Lightning flickers in the background. In its light, you think you see something out in the water.

The song works its way through layers of your mind. Past the conscious, through the Id, dripping down through the fragile weave of ego. Then, in the dark soil of your subconscious. That's when you are lost. That's when you walk into the sea. That's when you feel her cold hands on you. That's when you take your last breath.

In this scene, the Siren floats in her cave, the skull of her favorite lover clasp in her hand.

The model is my friend actress/playboy model Claudia Christian

This is beautiful, then again so is Ms. Christian. I first fell in love with her after I fell for Helga Sinclair from Disney's Atlantis and now I'm off to invest in Babylon 5! i hope to see more works like this with her as your model.

Thanks for the kudos. Actually, we're collaborating on three more paintings in this series, each one dedicated one of the four elements. Siren is for water.

Hi Valerhon - I thought that was Claudia! I've loved here ever since she was in Babylon 5, and as usual you've produced a fantastic piece of art with her image. How beautiful. You're work constantly amazes and inspires me.

Congrats to both of you and please give her my respects!

She reminds me a tiny bit of Claudia Christian in Babylon5.
