The Green Man I
Signed and dated, early oil on board from the Green Man series.
Though Farrington lived not far from the site of Shropshire Clun Festival, the Green Man of his art bears little resemblance to the jolly modern day figure pitted against the Ice Queen in mock seasonal skirmish. He joins a coterie of bird catchers, deermen and green knights, often inspired by local walkers but transformed, in Farrington's imagination, into strange characters of ancient myth and legend.
