It came to me in a dream, Your Honour. Not the green man of yore: helpfully nurturing the fresh shoots of spring and kicking off an abundant harvest. No, this was someone who sowed unease, albeit with a smile that in hindsight you might consider a sneer. Perhaps the devil’s work though in a different shade.
I havent done any life drawing of late, so I thought why not have a play when this idea occurred. I had intended an even more contorted head, but I started the work with just a palette knife and getting tied up with the technicalities of that, I drifted towards the natural – though fortunately not too natural.
Hopefully I got something a little unsettling in some beguiling colours.

It is indeed a sinister looking figure- your man in green.
A portrait to be placed alongside the picture of Dorian Gray in Rod Serling’s Night Gallery.

Thanks Christopher, though I fear that the subjects of Rod Sterling’s Night Gallery, along with this portrait, are now rather passé when compared to today’s gallery offerings.

Nicely done, just enough to be unsettling!
