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).

    Love the background and the owl. The original Waterhouse painting of Ophelia is so beautiful to begin with. You've done it justice!!

    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!
