Mike In The Summer Garden

Looking back at old photographs and there's that I had sketched this from a book of old carvings found in UK churches.

The green man has always been a source of fascination for me over the years.

There are numerous claims and counter claims from both and perspectives; but I think he is the calm embodiment of the fecundity of and represents the inevitable circle and cycle of life.

I may get round to doing a proper painting one of these days.

@MikeInTheGarden I see the Green Man the exact same way. I hope you do the painting - I'd love to see it when it's done.
