An atmospheric moonlight sketch from a photograph includes two curious faces in the sky.  The moon itself is ‘compass drawn’ using a spherical temperature gauge.  Seismic waves form the undergrowth amidst the trees.  

Three rows of seismic ‘M’ grass also represent Earth’s climate, wildlife and habitat plight.  The idea of flames is shown over the trees’ canopy.  Branches wrap around the moon, as if the moon itself has its ‘head in its hands’, Edvard Munch style.

“Look!  Thy moon gifts shining light throughout darkness of thine howling night.”

Here is the photograph inspiration:

Next sketch is entitled “European Robin on a Wooden Post“, also sketched using a photograph from Meadow Three in my local Nature Reserve:

As I walked towards the metal gate at Wren’s Nest Pond, this European Robin was already perched five feet from me, comfortable with my approach. 

dear Robin then skipped two feet to the left, onto the wooden post you see here in my sketch.  It was there dear Robin stood whilst I happily took portrait photographs. A curious face is clearly visible between the wooden posts. Once again in this instance, the curious face was pure random chance.

Here is a quick photograph that provided the composition for my sketch:

Hope you enjoy 🙂
