Lakescape in Moonlight

Lakescape in Moonlight“ [18th October 2021] by Matt The Unfathomable Artist, sketch with 3H HB 3B pencils and black ink on 280gsm 250mm x 300mm gesso primed canvas [pad], digital image 3520 x 2950 pixels.

In this sketch the Moon shows Earth its own reflection.  The tree to the left is landmass shaped as viewed from space.  Carbon pencil filaments are sprinkled into the sky to explain the need for recycling materials.  Farground trees look like mountains, we want them to be here forever. 

Why are the mountains reflecting a fossil fuelled bleakness?

Here is the photograph inspiration for my sketch:

Photograph – “Lakescape in Moonlight“ [17th October 2021] by Matt The Unfathomable Artist.

You will notice I have brought the perspective ever nearer. I love those photographs where the Moon is supermassive in the twilight hours. I felt this would make the composition more exciting. At the upper right corner of the image you can actually see Jupiter.

At this time Jupiter is shining in our night sky to the South-South East. I chose not to include Jupiter in this sketch, although I do have other photographs from past years I can compose a new sketch of Jupiter from.

For this sketch though I believed the Moon required centre stage.

I hope you enjoy my artwork.

First Mount vista from Second Mount

“First Mount vista from Second Mount“ [12th October 2021] by Matt The Unfathomable Artist, sketch with 3H HB 3B, yellow and white pencils on 280gsm 250mm x 300mm gesso primed canvas [pad], 3450 x 2895 pixels in digitally saturated image shown.

This digital artwork image “First Mount vista from Second Mount“ is saturated by 70% to highlight the adverse polar melting, air pollution effects of global warming through manmade GHG’s. 

Carbon dioxide (CO2), carbon monoxide (CO), nitrogen oxide (NOx), anthropogenic methane (CH4), tropospheric ozone (O3) and other interconnected fossil fuels’ pollutants in our atmosphere through excessive, anti-ecological, environmentally damaging, economically inequalitive, manmade industrial activities on a global scale.

Nature is beautiful, however, through excessive manmade activites natural woodland is experiencing mass deforestation and habitat destruction. This deplorable situation is unsustainable at its present rate.

Hope you enjoy the reasons why I made this artwork 🙂
