St. Ursanne's Green Man by John Howe

In surfing for new and wonderful Green Man artists and sculptors,  I ran across John Howe, illustrator: http://www.john-howe.com/portfolio/gallery/details.php?image_id=4238  who created the fabulous Green Man below:


St. Ursanne, from what I am reading, is a charming, medieval town in Switzerland:

St. Ursanne seems to be  photograph and postcard perfect.  But, I digress.  John Howe's sculpture is amazing as well as his other artwork.  A link to his biography: http://www.john-howe.com/blog/biography/formations/ and an excellent blog post on trees: http://www.john-howe.com/blog/2014/03/29/the-memory-of-trees/ and his portfolio:http://www.john-howe.com/portfolio/gallery/

I am so very grateful to discover this artist. 
Enjoy.

Green Man Anomaly

Here in the US, the Green Man is almost an anomaly.  You can find Green Man sculptures in larger cities such as New York and Chicago. Outside of the urban areas, the Green Man is often relegated to garden art and personal collections.  It is humbling to see the amazing array of Green Men globally.  Fortunately, I stumbled onto this site: http://www.the-great-learning.com/pilgerwege-deu-en3.htm   
-- a catalog of photographs of Green Men and Sheela-Na-Gigs. 

Enjoy.
