The girl is my hand with acrylics and oil pastels painted portrait. I got an idea that she looks like a bird, and painted the white things to emphasize that.
Now I added her digitally onto among the other birds on my hand composed background, and so she is in the right place 😉
I altered her again, and sank her digitally into the background, which is a photo of the Purple Mountain Saxifraga. It is a species of plants that is very common in the high Arctic and high mountainous area. It grows also in our Lapland in the North of Finland.
I'm linking this post on the Nicole's Friday Face Off challenge theme this week,
and the first art journal page on the Neet's theme 'Fur and/or Feathers' at Art Journal Journey this month.
Thank you for visiting. Happy weekend.

'Lintutyttö luonnossa'
-art journal sivuni menee teemaan 'Turkis ja/tai höyhenpeite'. Siinä on käsin tekemäni tausta, johon olen lisännyt akryylein ja oil pastel-liiduin maalaamani kasvokuvan. Jotenkin se alkoi minusta näyttää linnulta ja lisäsin siihen valkoiset jutut korostaakseni tätä mielikuvaa - ja onhan hän nyt kaltaistensa joukossa😉
Toinen työni menee 'Kasvokuva'-teemaan. Upotin saman tytön taustalle, joka on valokuva Sinirikko-nimisestä kukasta, jota kasvaa Arktisilla alueilla ja vuoristoissa ja sitä esiintyy myös meidän Lapissamme.
Hyvää viikonloppua kaikille.
I agree the way you painted her, she does remind me of a bird. But there are lots of others on that page, too. Both are beautiful, but the bird girl surrounded by birds is truly amazing. Thanks for sharing it with us at Art Journal Journey using Neet's theme.
VastaaPoistaShe´s a beauty!
VastaaPoistaTo a happy weekend!
I love your maid of birdland, she definitely has some features of a bird and is a beautiful soul. A lovely idea to add the white parts to her, she wears a crown of feathers to me.
VastaaPoistaI love the background, how lovely to have flora that looks like that, so colourful and what beautiful birds, especially the little bright pink one in the bottom right hand corner who looks as if he is singing his heart out.
A lovely page and a lovely page following where you have sunk her face into that background.
Hugs, Neet xx.
...she looks beautiful, a sweet young woman.
VastaaPoistaAnother beautiful piece of art. I love the white coming off her nose and head and then partly covered by the flowers in the second photo. You are genius at this. Thank you for joining Friday Face OFF and have a nice day.
VastaaPoistaI like her eyes.
VastaaPoistaBoa tarde e um ótimo sábado com muita paz e saúde. As pinturas são maravilhosas. Parabéns pelo seu excelente trabalho e matéria.
VastaaPoistaThis is a very beautiful painting and I also like the digital artwork. Your title is fantastic, too - I immediately had to think of Bilbo who is saying these words in "The Fellowship of the Ring".
VastaaPoistaA beautiful face with a little stretch of imagination and some digital helping hand and you came up with a lovely post Sirkkis ...
