The Forest Spirit

This is my entry for the Art Creations Friday challenge which provided us with this beautiful (Waterhouse) image. I was working on a "Greenman" piece using photos of my backyard and a greenman garden sculpture ( he is the shadowy green figure who oversees the forest) when this lovely maiden comes along to help me finish my digital collage. I added a little owl and artistic filters in photoshop. Background from (Scrapbookgraphics).

  10. Oh wow, this really is something. There's certainly spirit in the forest. I think the man on right must be the spirit of the tree. Mr. Wood I assume. This is like a tale, perfect!
