Ah, this was always one of my favorite arthurian stories! The whole piece is amazing- the green knight is simply perfect, I love his whole look

Love the use of watercolor.You work very well with this medium. I love the Authur legend, though I tend to follow more of Morrigan and Avalon. If you are interested there is another tell of Arthur written my Marion Zimmer-Bradely titled "Mists of Avalon". It really gets into the celtic and pagan side of the Britons.

Wonderful piece!

This is just soo good. The stone faces ion the corner are very realistic, and gives the picture a medieval effect, as does the use of strong reds, greens and browns. I am definitely a fan of the Arthurian legends, and I love your interpretation of this particular tale.

Another spectacular composition... I really hope you're commissioned to illustrate a series of English tales, these are beyond words.
I absolutely loved this story, and the depiction of the Green Knight here is fantastic - I've seen quite a number picked out by publishers not half so good as this.
