Art Creations Friday Challenge

St. Patrick's Day is coming up so I made this an Irish themed piece. This is my entry for Art Creations Friday, using the image we were given. I made her hair a little redder and used a map of Ireland that I painstakingly changed the color of. The bottom part that looks like old boards is from Kubivet.

  1. How beautiful - and timely. She really does look like the typical Irish colleen. Those names in the background are very nostaligic for me. I have visited Ireland twice and they are very familiar. (My heritage is 100% Irish).
