We celebrate Midsummer Festival every year between the 20th and 26th of June. It is a celebration of light and the beginning of summer. It is the time for Finns to relax and enjoy the magical 'Night less Night' when the sun doesn't go down but a few short hours.
I tried to catch the light and feeling of that in my digital picture.

I cut and cropped the lovely face of Greta Garbo (1905-1990) from a magazine. She was a Swedish born American film actress in the 1920's and 1930's. I altered her black and white photo with a color layer in the photo shop. Other images were added and design made digitally as well.
I'm linking the work in Paint Party Friday Week 16 Year 7
wishing every one happy PPF and
🌼 most enjoyable summer time 💕

Ihanaa keskikesän juhlaa kaikille,

Greta Garbon ihanat kasvo ovat lehdestä leikkaamastani musta/valkoisesta valokuvasta. Lisäsin värit ja muut kuvat photoshopissa.
Tavoitteenani oli tavoitta kuvaan 'yöttömän yön' fiilis ja värit.
