It's done, done, done!
Did the oiling today [linseed oil]
I used common box for the "moustache" as palm branches are a little hard to get here.

Weihnachtsoratorium Martinikerk Groningen
Pieter Jan Leusink
Bach Choir and Orchestra of the Netherlands
It was magnificent
One could see this fresco on the vault and hear the same instrument at the very same time.
And could this be a forerunner of the midwinterhorn?

All of a sudden, they start appearing. How come I never spotted all those Green Men before?

Matthaüs Passion
Both familiar and ever new, St. Matthew Passion is a major event in the cycle of the year. Good for contemplation, very inspiring. The altus of the opening chorale "O Lamm Gottes" sang with an intensity that worked like gilding on a Russian Icon, or on a medieval polychrome statuette. It gave me goosebumps.
I noticed a Green Man carved in the church benches.
Vegetation Spirit-oncoming resurrection-how fitting.

Light in his eyes
Today I made the black in his eyes blacker
And if you look from the right angle you will notice that I also made the light lighter
He's getting more and more iconic.
Nerukotvornyi
The dripping blood our only drink,
The bloody flesh our only food:
In spite of which we like to think
That we are sound, substantial flesh and blood—
Again, in spite of that, we call this Friday good.

When the Man comes around
He's starting to get Messiah-like overtones, my Man of the Woods.
What's he up to?
And I heard, as it were, the noise of thunder: One of the four beasts saying: "Come and see"
