Really lovely, most of these would make great Christmas cards.

Thanks - I'm glad you like them but they are definitely NOT Christmas cards. I did this first one (The Green Man) for a friend of mine in the Pagan Federation. He wanted cards to send out for Yule and couldn't seem to find anything in the shops that wasn't "Christmas". I designed this one and had them printed and sold about 500 to Pagans all over North Yorkshire. The publishers of the Pagan Federation international Magazine, "Pagan Dawn", saw the cards and featured this painting on their cover with a piece about me inside. Pagans all over the world got in contact and since then I have produced a Pagan Yule card every year and also cards for other Pagan festivals. The Green Cat for Beltane has been especially popular. I have the original in my house but I regularly sell cards and prints of it.

Sorry Margaret, thoughtless of me. Well done on your achievements, they are beautifully painted.
