Artist and Tumblr user Morgan Davidson creates [colorful surrealist style illustrations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/portraitia) of girls. Davidson’s peculiar female portraits focus mostly on the women’s hairstyles. She injects [beehive hairstyles and braids](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/main-character-hair) with unusual objects that make these pictures all the more interesting.

One of the photos seems to be fall themed. It depicts a redheaded woman, wrapped up in a bright yellow scarf. Her hair is thrown up in a messy style, with leaves and branches woven into it. Another illustration incorporates melting candles, tiny birds and pocket watches into a woman’s hair-do.

These [vibrantly colored female illustrations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/johannes-vermeer-1) incorporate flowers, sea shells, and other random objects to better reflect the girls being portrayed. Davidson’s works are made with pencil crayons, and typically focus on elements of nature.
