New work : The Adolescence of the Greenman , graphite , watercolor and gouache highlights , 15 by 19”
This is a redrawing of a GreenKnight from 2015 which I felt warranted revisiting .
graphite , watercolor and gouache highlights , 15 by 19”
Various new details :
the Greenman’s faun heralds his initial venturing out into the wider world
his sylvan mentor looking on nervously
The wider world broad and distant , inspired ( as so many of my landscapes are ) by a Victorian cork piece that hangs across from my drawing table . I am frequently transported to lands of fancy by this piece of charming folkart .
The symbolic weaving on the horse’s robe predict the Gawain and GreenKnight narrative , the green knight’s beheading, the Queen’s seductive power , the abandoned chapel.
As I mentioned above this is a revisiting of an earlier work also inspired by the Gawain/Green Knight narrative, this one from 2015.

Ultimately this will be a highly finished oil painting on panel , but for now , a finished drawing .
