Hares

Three different poses but each carries an ear of wheat, remembering the green man.

Of the Sea

From a poem by Emily Dickinson-

We are of the sea,
Have tides like the sea,
Tears of saltwater
And sea streamed hair.

Carved in oak with added silver foil.

Harvest Blow

Carved in lime wood I try to capture the feeling of a wind blown harvest field incorporating a Green Man into the image.

LOVERS

A study of entwined couple carved in limewood.

Orchard

This piece represents man's attempts to organise nature through horticulture.

It was carved in cherry wood which seemed appropriate for the message.

Colour addes with oil so the grain is not obscured has lifted the piece nicely.

Staircase Panel

This panel was commissioned for a small cottage staircase.
The brief was that it should have vines with birds and insects included.
It is carved in oak pierced through to keep it light in appearance and to let light through.

Oak Spirit

Carved in oak this is one of my favourite images.

"Amy" Winehouse

I was inspired to carve this image of Amy after producing a wild image of her in clay. I had used a real leaf to imprint in the clay the patterns that produce her beehive hair style.
The carving is about 24" tall from a yew log. The variations in colour are between the white sapwood. almost orange heart wood and pinks around knots.

Tilia Vulgaris

One of my favourite designs for the traditional Green Man image that I carve. This one is in lime with lime leaves as the crowning glory.
