A good friend suggested this title for another piece – but for me it could be the title for a whole new series.
This drawing has just been completed and I have several large head sculptures ready to go into the fire
(pics will be posted soon). sweet siren song is mixed media on arches hot press 320lb. 120 x 100 cm
watercolour, gesso, acylic, conte, pastel and charcoal.
Never sure which direction my drawings will go on the day – this was the last for the session
pastel on paper approx A2 
We have been very busy here on the sunny coast with family visiting from Melbourne; and tidying up last minute things for both my exhibition and David’s exhibition opening in the next few weeks.
maybe this time has had quite a few iterations however the new head was added after life drawing on thursday – the sad part is that the added head has lost something when it has been stuck down – the pastel has dropped in tone and gone a bit muddy – but maybe this time it will be finished 🙂
As it was Valentine’s Day yesterday – maybe I should have been drawing roses and maybe I was? Maybe I should go back and work into these drawings more? 
…and here is another from yesterday’s session (pastel on cartridge) 30 min + a bit of fiddling
and nearly forgot – opening tonight at Rosebed Street Gallery for anyone here on the Sunny Coast 🙂
not good but saved from the round file – amazing what a bit of cropping does 🙂
new name for a very changed image – this began as ‘somethings lost will never be found’
I am still not entirely sure it is resolved but is not nearly as sentimental/melancholic as original.
