The Green Man Card
My art is inspired by the beautiful landscape of the Peak District and the myths and legends that are woven into its fabric.
Luds Church, a dramatic fissure in the rock, sits shrouded in mystery between the Roaches and the River Dane.
Many scholars believe it to be the green chapel written about in the Arthurian legend of “Sir Gwain and the Green Knight”, one of the oldest texts written in middle English.
The green knight in the book is believed to represent the green man and indeed it is a story of death and rebirth so often associated with his legends.
It is said in the right light that his face can be seen in the rock formation of the tallest walls.
I confess to a slight obsession with the green man and this is one of my many drawings of him, inspired by this beautiful place.
