“Displeased Sky with Radiant Sun” [December 2021] by Matt The Unfathomable Artist, drawing with 3B and colour pencils signed in black ink on 280gsm 250mm x 300mm gesso primed canvas [pad], digital image 3415 x 2835 pixels.
For “Displeased Sky with Radiant Sun” I decided to use colour pencils. Pressing hard upon the sky and waters. Vigorously working over seismic horizon trees and the hedge with seismic ‘M’ details lower left.
My drawing is very ‘mood’ orientated. Jupiter, Saturn and Venus feature visibly in the sky through part of December 2021.
An angry looking face appears surrounding one of the planets, barely visible in the original photograph.
This face is completely random chance.
Here is the photograph providing the inspiration for my colour drawing:
Here is a zoomed shot of the same image to reveal the visible planet:
The photograph is taken late afternoon between 1600hrs and 1700hrs UK GMT time on 2nd December 2021, facing towards the south, south south west.
Dusk had settled around the lake. A few walkers passed by, in the descending nightly darkness. One lady, quite unusually, stood nearby me as I took photographs from behind a latched gate post adjacent to the lake.
The unassuming lady produced her smartphone, proceeding to take self-same photographs of her own quickly. Returning to her walk within a minute or so.
