“Lion at Rest – Original” [24th July 2023] by Matt The Unfathomable Artist, drawing with H, HB, 4B and charcoal pencils, signed in black ink on 280gsm 250mm x 300mm gesso primed canvas [pad], digitally edited image 2475 x 2934 pixels.
Immediately shown above is the Original pencils drawing of “Lion at Rest”. I then proceeded to make five digital artworks from the Original. Four individual colour compositions in embossed format – ‘Silver’, ‘Green’, ‘Blue’ and ‘Black&White’.
The fifth piece formed ‘Collage’ which included all four embossed colour compositions together at the four corners with the ‘Original’ placed in five of the central Collage squares. You can see these artworks in this blog article below.
My pencils drawing was made within 32 minutes starting with a blank canvas without prior study.
The Lion lives at Chester Zoo in the UK.
My embossed versions are inspired by Andy Warhol’s Endangered Species artworks.

I feel that “Lion at Rest – Collage” is such a lovely, strikingly stunning artwork, I hope you do too.
The originating picture for this Lion was taken on 22nd July 2023 at 1449hrs. Here it is:

I hope you enjoy all these Conservation inspired artworks.
“Cygnet follows Swan – Original” [19th July 2023] by Matt The Unfathomable Artist, drawing with HB, 8B and charcoal pencils, signed in black ink on 280gsm 250mm x 300mm gesso primed canvas [pad], digitally edited image 2884 x 2465 pixels.
These two beautiful swans graciously passed me as I walked by, just beyond the Nature Reserve in a leisurely grass filled area. Whilst passing I found their way utterly enthralling and simply had to take a photograph. Immediately I knew this would become a new sketch.
The sketch was made within one hour of starting a blank canvas.
My sketch features row upon row of ‘M’ grasses, an ‘M’ bush (originating in the actual photograph itself, see below), Van Gogh style outlines of the swans (heavily pronounced like fruit in a bowl), whimsical illustrative leafy details and individual character to both the swan and the cygnet.
I made three digital artworks from the Original sketch: EMBOSSED, STARRY NIGHT and COLOUR DOTS.
Here is the first digital artwork made, ‘EMBOSSED’:
“Cygnet follows Swan – EMBOSSED” [19th July 2023] by Matt The Unfathomable Artist, digital artwork from an Original drawing, signed in black ink on 280gsm 250mm x 300mm gesso primed canvas [pad], digitally edited image 2808 x 2333 pixels.
‘EMBOSSED’ has ideas of life paths, our spirit, ascension, soul and body. I carefully aligned the 3D overlay imagery at approximately 30 degrees, level with their first bodies legs. This gives a sense of upward-forward motion. My signature, the ‘M’ grasses ‘writings’ and the ‘M’ bush continues with this 3D overlay theme.
Each and every digital artwork I produce is an intricately balanced artwork piece in its own way. Personally I feel each digital piece I make should represent one unique artwork in a specified physical format.
For instance, print, sculpture or textile.
“Cygnet follows Swan – STARRY NIGHT” [19th July 2023] by Matt The Unfathomable Artist, digital artwork from an Original drawing, signed in black ink on 280gsm 250mm x 300mm gesso primed canvas [pad], digitally edited image 2884 x 2465 pixels.
‘STARRY NIGHT’ is a beautiful colour rendition from my Original sketch. I felt the leaves above the swans heads had somehow become the sky. For my love of Vincent’s art I had to honour his works in the title of this piece.
The blue-green colour scheme is delightful, I loved this as I played with a varying palette to create the nicest looking composition for this piece. I see this as a rug, cushions, curtains or tapestry! It looks so very textile-like.
“Cygnet follows Swan – COLOUR DOTS” [19th July 2023] by Matt The Unfathomable Artist, digital artwork from an Original drawing, signed in black ink on 280gsm 250mm x 300mm gesso primed canvas [pad], digitally edited image 2884 x 2465 pixels.
‘COLOUR DOTS’ represents technology and innovative human thinking. The colour details within this piece can be seen by zooming in on the image.
If you cannot zoom in, I will show you. First though let’s take a look at the original picture itself. The originating photograph was taken on 11th July 2023 at 1841hrs, shown immediately below:
“Cygnet follows Swan – photograph” [11th July 2023, 1841hrs] by Matt The Unfathomable Artist with smartphone. (Please CLICK on this image if not shown as a rectangular image)
A very cute scene of adult swan guiding its cygnet, exactly as composed in my sketch. They both seemed oblivious to me as I passed by them. The adult swan was focused getting to wherever it wanted. The adult did notice me though.
Shown below is three unedited zoomed images I cropped from ‘COLOUR DOTS’ to show you the beauty within beauty of an artwork:
“Cygnet follows Swan COLOUR DOTS Body Composition #2” (Please CLICK on this image if not shown as a rectangular image)
My pencil lines become abstract ideas: a topological map, computer machine code, engineering macrocosm, an ancient settlement. Whatever you want this to be.
With all three cropped versions you can now clearly see the colour dots! Here are the exact hex colours #FF34FF (magenta), #0CFF0C (green), #3737FF (blue) and #5DFFFF (aqua) just to highlight the main colours.
“Cygnet follows Swan COLOUR DOTS Grass-Brain Composition #1” (Please CLICK on this image if not shown as a rectangular image)
Grass-Brain looked kind of Matrix-like. This is actually the zoomed head of the swan with grasses overhead!
“Cygnet follows Swan COLOUR DOTS Signature Composition #3” (Please CLICK on this image if not shown as a rectangular image)
In Signature Composition my name is recognisable of form – completely unchanged besides the computer filter used to produce a new work from ‘COLOUR DOTS’. I then manipulate images to make the most pleasing compositions.
I have a professional computing background, therefore it is natural for me to use computer software in the production of my digital works.
I made a similar concept of ‘artworks from an artwork‘ with my oil painting “Creative Mind” in September 2018. For that blog article please click the link here: “Creative Mind” including crops of the full image.
“Angry Owl #2 – Original” by Matt The Unfathomable Artist, pastels, charcoal and acrylic on 10in x 12in canvas pad.
“Angry Owl #2 – Original” is probably a selfie on his smartphone.
“Angry Owl #2 – Digitised” [4th July 2023] by Matt The Unfathomable Artist, digital artwork.
“Angry Owl #2 – Digitised” found himself in computer circuitry.
“Angry Owl #2 – Black & White” [4th July 2023] by Matt The Unfathomable Artist, digital artwork.
“Angry Owl #2 – Black & White” walked onto the set of a 1920’s silent movie. Quickly he assumed this cunning mask to conceal his distinctive looks.
“Angry Owl #2 – Pixelated” [4th July 2023] by Matt The Unfathomable Artist, digital artwork.
Caught up by mistaken identity “Angry Owl #2 – Pixelated” found himself in a Police line-up. ‘Pixelated’ was his disguise so you wouldn’t recognise him.
“Angry Owl #2 – Solarised” [4th July 2023] by Matt The Unfathomable Artist, digital artwork.
As you can clearly see “Angry Owl #2 – Solarised” turned his face to the Sun. He wasn’t even on holiday at the time.
“Angry Owl #2 – Tracing Paper” [4th July 2023] by Matt The Unfathomable Artist, digital artwork.
A keen student of H.G. Wells The Invisible Man, “Angry Owl #2 – Tracing Paper” went to art class in high school to perfect blending into any surrounding. I think by now you would all agree he is quite brilliant at camouflage.
“Angry Owl #2 – Montage” [4th July 2023] by Matt The Unfathomable Artist, digital artwork.
“Angry Owl #2 – Montage” was released by secret services in order for the public to formally identify him, amidst all his aliases. We do not know where “Angry Owl #1” is either. Last information we have is that “Angry Owl #1” was placed into a refuse bin for no reason whatsoever.
To help identify “Angry Owl #1” here is the last known photograph:
“Angry Owl #1” [August 2010] by Matt The Unfathomable Artist, pastels on board.
Please do not attempt to approach “Angry Owl #1” or “Angry Owl #2” as they are able to horizontally rotate their necks at extreme angles. Also, they are absolutely lethal to harvest mice.
Special skills: Ability to listen to you under one foot of snow.. whilst hovering airborne!
If you find “Angry Owl #1” please contact Matt The Unfathomable Artist as he is willing to trade one of his best currently available sketches for the safe return of “Angry Owl #1”.
“Sunrays in Wildflower Meadow – TRACE” [27th May 2023] by Matt The Unfathomable Artist, digital artwork derived from an original sketch in blue ballpoint ink pen and sunlight yellow pencil.
“Sunrays in Wildflower Meadow – TRACE” finds me thinking about nature, rabbits, animation and music. How about you? What do you think looking at this artwork?
The original sketch (not shown) for these digital artworks in this blog article took me 20 minutes to produce. It was done spontaneously with very quick pen and pencil work to emulate the Van Gogh style for movement.
I am very happy with the artworks and the original, inspired by a Van Gogh drawing. I would like to mention that the artworks are produced from an original sketch and photograph by myself.
The photograph is actually shown at the end of this blog article.
“Sunrays in Wildflower Meadow – Black & White” [27th May 2023] by Matt The Unfathomable Artist, digital artwork derived from an original sketch in blue ballpoint ink pen and sunlight yellow pencil.
“Sunrays in Wildflower Meadow – Black & White” reminds me of space and science-fiction. What about you? How do you feel looking at this artwork?
“Sunrays in Wildflower Meadow – COMMAND” [27th May 2023] by Matt The Unfathomable Artist, digital artwork derived from an original sketch in blue ballpoint ink pen and sunlight yellow pencil.
“Sunrays in Wildflower Meadow – COMMAND” is powerful. I am reminded of 3D structures, electricity and the sense of touch. How about you? Do you have any particular feelings or thoughts as you view this artwork?
“Sunrays in Wildflower Meadow – photograph” [4th July 2022, 1935hrs] by Matt The Unfathomable Artist.
Hopefully I have brought the beauty within this landscape into my sketch and digital artworks, inspiring you in some way.
Kathy Lajvardi describes her inspiration for “Unbreakable Queens“.
The best way to introduce you to Kathy Lajvardi is to include a video in her own words describing the inspiration for her “Unbreakable Queens” Series of works (immediately above).
Kathy is immensely driven. A career spanning blue chip Corporate graphics design, film production stills/animation links, book publishing, musical artists photography and senior art direction. My blog article focuses specifically upon her own handmade painted artworks and high quality prints.
Music is a powerfully evocative platform to communicate emotions and ideas. Like Pop Art master Jean-Michel Basquiat, Kathy Lajvardi involves music in her artmaking process. Her video explains her great love of music and culture being direct artistic influences.
We live in a tough world commercially. Women worked in a male-dominated world in the late 19th Century, even in historically colonial empires. A quick look at the Suffragettes Movement in the United Kingdom in the early 1900’s highlights that women have not always had a fair deal with working opportunities and the generalised rights afforded to men.
With oppression occurring particularly against women in various places people naturally gravitate to highly successful artists such as Beyonce and Madonna. Go-getters, trailblazers, international superstars in a predominant man’s world.
Of course, Westernised norms do not necessarily mean successful societies. Poverty, crime and inequality blights numerous nations regardless of religion, status or working opportunities. There is a swathe of populist movements/trends sweeping the globe primarily through emotional sentiments fuelled via technological communication. It is clearly wise to keep the laws of a land to avoid certain difficulties.
So what can people do with injustice?
Kathy Lajvardi has art as an outlet.
Building upon a rising backdrop of female empowerment Kathy uses symbolism within her work in multi-layered and carefully considered ways to get her message across.
Ancient Persia extolled the literal height of artistic representation along with ancient Egyptian and other Mesopotamian cultures. Therefore it is only meet that Kathy would draw upon her Iranian roots as an artist growing up in California.
Kathy Lajvardi with her “Unbreakable Queens Series” and “Unstoppable, Break” artworks.
You have planned your work, thrown your heart into the project. We should rightfully be proud with personal achievements.
Art is often surprisingly hard work. Social media allows artists to become known, personally. Their dreams, aspirations, how they feel as individual persons. Insights into their lives.
I see multi-facets to Kathy’s personality through her artwork and social media. A woman whom confidently negotiates the commercial world through academic learning, experience, networking and malleability.
“Malleability – the ability to be easily changed into a new shape.” – Cambridge Dictionary.
“Unbreakable Queens Series” by Kathy Lajvardi featuring ‘Queen Beyonce‘, ‘Queen Madonna‘, ‘Queen Googoosh‘ and ‘Queen Janet’.
Let me present to you dear Readers one of my spontaneous word associations with regards to the art I see in the “Unbreakable Queens Series” by Kathy Lajvardi:
Tackling challenges head-on, living up to expectations, responsibilities, despair followed by hope, affinity to a higher power, pensive humbleness, patience – all with stylised iconography.
“Unstoppable, Rise” and “Unstoppable, Break” by Kathy Lajvardi featured in exhibition gallery space.
Kathy incorporates Iranian history and heritage in “Unstoppable, Rise” and “Unstoppable, Break“.
The crowns in her Pop Art works represent past Iranian monarchy. The lion head is seated upon a woman’s body. Iran’s national flag colors are visible to bring a sense of hope. Kathy’s artworks are very intricate, vibrant with sophistication.
I thought I would post a photograph from Wikipedia of Googoosh from an earlier concert, here:
Googoosh performing in Tehran prior to 1979.
Googoosh is an inspiration to Iranians. A beautiful lady with a strong voice, critically acclaimed in music and films for decades. Here is a list of some of her secular achievements:
1971: first prize and gold record at the Midem trade fair in Cannes (as “Gougoush”) performing two songs in French.
1973: The best actress for Bitain Iranian Sepas film festival
2014: Best Iranian Female Singer (World Music Awards)
2017: Best Music Video For Do Panjereh (Directed by Yasmin Asha) Festigious Film Awards March 2017
2022: Performed at the Expo Festival
[Quotations from Wikipedia).
For a female Iranian performer this shows the ability for people to celebrate the value of their national pride and unique culture.
It is no wonder why Kathy Lajvardi is inspired by an Iranian artist whose fame has transcended many decades. I wanted to get the sense of Kathy’s reasons for producing her recent artwork series. Googoosh is one of those reasons. It might surprise some in Western culture to believe Iranian culture has a rich heritage in films and music.
Whilst Kathy Lajvardi lives in Orange County, LA, (her family emigrating due to the late 1970’s political and military Iranian Revolution) she has a heartfelt yearning with her Iranian hometown and peoples.
What is greater.. the freedom for girls and women to engage in secular education or the bullet and the bomb?
It was the bullet and the bomb that brought about the Iranian Revolution in the late 1970’s.
“Self Portrait within the Universe” [20th/21st June 2021] by Matt The Unfathomable Artist, sketch with 3H HB 3B pencils signed in iron gall ink on A4 250gsm Artist’s paper.
Artwork includes luminary light with digitally edited photography to create this image.
The title for this artwork is based upon an ancient quotation. “Self Portrait within the Universe” includes direct visual references to unfathomable phenomena.
“Passing” [7th June 2021] by Matt The Unfathomable Artist, sketch with 3H HB 3B pencils signed in black ink on A4 250gsm Artist’s paper.
This artwork title, “Passing” [7th June 2021] by Matt The Unfathomable Artist, is a literal translation of an early board game called ‘Senet’ popular in ancient Egypt from at least c2600BCE – 3100BCE.
I have known to play the game of chess from an early age, due to my Dad having a great interest in chess throughout his life. Reading books, owning chess computers, playing over the board at chess clubs et al. My Dad was secretary at county and local club level.
I myself captained a local chess club playing home and away events, won a club classical over-the-board Swiss Tournament and made runner-up in a club classical over the board annual All Play All competition.
Here is my Swiss Tournament winner’s trophy in 2003 (without showing my personal name inscribed on the trophy for anonymity):
My Swiss Tournament 2003 Winner’s trophy won at a Chess Club over the board annual competition.
Every chess player appreciates that to receive a competition trophy is a very happy achievement. Even more so knowing some of my opponents had competed successfully at county level. One of my opponents from this 2003 tournament had previously drew a chess Grandmaster (GM) in an over-the-board simultaneous competition!
The reason I created this artwork shown above is for my love of chess, the beauty of the game and its place in art history.
Nefertari (1295–1255 BC) playing the ancient Egyptian game ‘Senet’ [photography of the wall relief by The Yorck Project – 2002)
As an artwork it’s particularly interesting to note Queen Nefertari is seated upon a square chequered drapered chair. Clearly we also see Senet pieces displayed in-game on the table board, not unlike modern chess pieces!!
This communicates to us the thinking abilities of ancient human beings, culturally, spiritually and intellectually. Whilst our sciences and some religious ideas might differ through centuries of new learning, human intelligence is really a preservation of society, our individual life course and personal/collective decisions.
“the Rabbits of Ridge Willow – sketch one” [28th April 2021] by Matt The Unfathomable Artist, 3H HB 3B pencils, signed in black ink on A4 250gsm Artist’s paper.
“the Rabbits of Ridge Willow – sketch one” really is a very quick simple sketch from a photograph of a rabbit at Ridge Willow.
I was stood still watching it lift up from its grass cover to chew some hay.
The first sketch session details were drawn ‘plein air’ in half an hour whilst I sat just in front of Ridge Willow, by their nearby burrow.
This artwork is purely fun. Discovering there were rabbits actually living on Ridge Willow is a delight of nature.
‘Being Together’ Estandos Juntos Series by Denise Wyllie, Woodcut, 63 x 45cm.
I like to select artists for this blog whom uniquely represent the art world.
‘Being Together’ shown above is a woodcut from the Estandos Juntos Series [the Spanish translation of the artwork] by Denise Wyllie which featured at “The Master’s” exhibition, hosted by the Royal Society of Painter-Printmakers in November 2019 at The Bankside in London.
Denise Wyllie’s artworks appeal to the fine art and interior design markets alike.
Her ‘Estandos Juntos Series’ of gender inspired prints explores the relationship between men and women. Closeness, disparity, fear, acceptance, race, dominance, reluctance, submission et al. At least that’s how I see this Series of works.
There is no doubting a feminine style to Denise Wyllie’s floral works. Her literary commentary is itself ‘a cat among the misogynistic pigeons’. At this moment I can picture every female reader cheering Denise on. Men too, as without thorns how does one protect the rose?
Are female artists under-represented in museums? Is this something you would agree is true?
Primarily through the latter 19th century we see international art establishments readily accepting women into the upper echelon of art. Often from well-to-do connected backgrounds.
My own past blog articles featuring female artists include: [please click their names to visit the links]
Thankfully the 21st century is creating new working opportunities for women regardless of class, background, beliefs/non-belief, race or origin. Technology is the ethical driving force within art, through increased marketing accessibility and popular cultural movements supporting equality.
Let’s take a good look at Denise Wyllie’s floral landscape and treescape works:
‘Into The Renaissance Rose Garden’ by Denise Wyllie, Screenprint, 50 by 70 cm, Edition number 10.
Denise has immersed herself within the David Austin Rose Gardens in Shropshire and blossom trees of Kyoto, Japan over the years. Artists have an innate desire to draw near to their subject matters to disentangle meaning, grasp new definitions and disseminate thoughts.
‘Into The Renaissance Rose Garden’ by Denise Wyllie is a pretty play on perspectives. It’s one of those artworks made specifically to bring joy. Reminding us of springtime blossom whilst fairy flowers wistfully dance the breeze. Children are probably running around making blissful noises getting caked in mud.
‘Into The Renaissance Rose Garden’ is a stunning composition.
For some years now I’ve recorded birds tweeting at my local nature reserve. There is a wealth of natural beauty to discover and realise. Listen as twilight water birds make soft conversational sounds to one another.
‘Kyoto: Travelling in the snow original’ by Denise Wyllie, Screenprint.
If you have ever seen timeless Japanese artworks such as ‘Magpies and Hare’ by Cui Bai [please click the link to view], you will appreciate Denise captures the absolute essence of Japanese silkscreen printing in her works.
‘Kyoto: Travelling in the snow original’ by Denise Wyllie is the apotheosis of the Japanese style. Sinewy curving branches, hints of delicate leaves, windswept movement. Bring a colour contrast to the mix and this wintry landscape comes alive with clever outer-edge and far-ground detailing.
A carefully constructed artwork like this cannot be fully visualised without first displaying the piece upon your wall.
‘Tree Spirits 3’ by Denise Wyllie, signed Giclee Fine Art print on Hahnemuhle 310gsm paper.
And then just as you thought there would be no darkness to Denise Wyllie’s work, we have ‘Tree Spirits 3’.
Eerily beautiful isn’t it?
Her career experience, ability and crafted brilliance is magnified throughout her art making. Complex layers excite our visual senses.. eyes and mind.
Please kindly view the artworks for sale here at: Denise Wyllie & Clare O Hagan to find your own favourite art pieces from their vast inventory.
‘Cold Autumn Walk on the Downs’ by David Brammeld RBA, Acrylic, 41cm x 51cm.
Inspired by Trees
The Royal Society of British Artists 303rd Annual Exhibition features a forest full of trees.
20 to 29 February 2020, 10am to 5pm
Mall Galleries, The Mall, London SW1
Admission £5, 50% off with Art Fund pass, Free for Friends of Mall Galleries and under 25’s
Mall Galleries is happy to offer my Readers Free Entry for Two to the exhibition when quoting this publication at the gallery desk (normal price £10)
Visitors to the Mall Galleries will shortly be able to experience a ‘forest experience’ as the Royal Society of British Artists highlights the potent inspiration trees provide for artists in its annual exhibition opening 20 February. Two clusters of tree images showcase a wide variety of styles, locations and moods, in highlighted sections of the show which overall features more than 500 works on myriad subjects. Trees captivate artists and fascinate the viewer with their life-force, symbolism and extraordinary architectural variety and beauty.
Some works featured are portraits of individual trees, such as Mark Welland’s Reach For The Sky II, which is part of a series commemorating a 300 year old oak tree finally felled by storm Katie in 2016; some scenes of woodlands, trees on the horizon or trees in the garden offering shelter on a sunny day.
‘Reach For The Sky II’ by Mark Welland, Mixed media, 21cm x 21cm.
Urban life also features. Melissa Scott-Miller RBA RP NEAC, known for depicting London’s streets says of the capital’s trees: “In London the trees are often restricted by the buildings and paving slabs, but they have still kept going, their branches making beautiful patterns and shapes, the lichen on the bark has spread on to the rooftops and brickwork, in summer the canopy of leaves produce areas of shade, and they are a haven for wildlife, birds, squirrels even domestic cats, the changes of colour and shape they display through the seasons lift the spirits, trees are essential to city living!”
Beautiful urban landscape by Melissa Scott-Miller RBA RP NEAC
Environmental themes emerge strongly. While many of these paintings of tree suggest at themes of longevity, ideas of mortality and of the fragility of the environment are never far away. Gary Cook’s watercolour 1058: Melbury Beacon No8 stands as a record of the 1,058 UK species associated with ash trees, ranging from beetles to birds, lichens to mammals. Some of these species are written into the background. All will be affected when we lose up to 90% of the UK’s 70 million ash trees from dieback disease. Of the 1,058 species 40 of them live only on ash trees. The Centre Barred Sallow moth is one of those 40. Research is ongoing into replanting these trees with ash bred with tolerance to the infection.
‘1058: Melbury Beacon No. 8’ by Gary Cook, Watercolour & charcoal, 28 x 39 cm.
Cheryl Culer PPPS RBA suggests we should all try our hand at drawing trees: “Trees are great to draw and as long as they get thinner as they go up and the branches get skinnier as they reach out, then even the simplest scribble can be a tree.“
Alongside the exhibition, member artists will be demonstrating their techniques and there are a number of opportunities to join in; including a free drawing session where you will be serenaded by Classical Harpist Eleanor Dunsdon.
Visit www.malllgalleries.org.uk for a full list of the events taking place.
The Royal Society of British Artists (RBA) is dedicated to promoting the highest standards of skill, concept and draughtsmanship in painting, sculpture, printmaking and drawing.
The exhibition is sourced from member artists and through open submission, to bring together works of the highest standard in an eclectic mix of style and media. Most works are for sale, with prices starting from £140.
