The Green Man by

Acrylic painting on canvas inspired by folklore and the mysterious ‘Face Through the Leaves’ which has always fascinated me. I used holly and ivy from my garden to refer to for this painting. Images of the Green Man have been found all around the world.

    This is great. I just love whimsical art. If you type Whimsicalism into a Google search engine you’ll find the Whimsicalism Site. Your work would fit in well on that site. I have been on a while myself.
