Greenman - God of the Forest

$3500
"Greenman - God of the Forest" was inspired for this year's theme of Fire and Ice. The leaves represent the various trees that occupy the Kootenay area - Elm, Poplar, Oak, and Maple - in an array of colours of the seasons. Charred branches signify the forest fires that ravaged the Kootenay Mountain Ranges last summer. Greenman watches over the lifecycle of the forests.
