So here he is now, with the left side darkened and text added, and some face paint/tattoo/tribal marking type stuff happening, just giving the vague hint of antlers...because for me the Green Man is also Herne the Hunter. I THINK he's finished, but am just wondering now whether it could do with another line of text to balance better? But no, I think that's just me never being satisfied. Beloved Other Half says this is a little different for me, a looser style, and he likes it. On the whole, I think the experiment went very well, and I'm looking forward to trying more of these pencil/acrylic on canvas combos...maybe something a little bigger next time (this one is only 20cm x 20cms) so that I can give that 'looser style' free reign.
And something to listen to while you're looking at the pic!
Just had a quick surf to find the lyrics, and here they are, along with a nice explanation of how the song came about and guitar tabs too (for when I've had a LOT more lessons!)

This is really beautiful!
The golden rule of art is to stop when it's finished. And this is finished....and absolutely stunning. You did good girl.

WoW ! i love this.. a very fetching green man indeed :-) i like the oddness of the three lines of text too, i think one more would be perhaps too even!
