“Hayfield Meadow Grasses” is a pencil canvas made from two pictures dated 2121hrs 8th July and 2044hrs 15th August 2022. 

The key composition is created from the earlier picture.  Cottongrass (mid-centre-ideal) is extra for inventive influence from the latter photograph.  I saved the cottongrass macro-composition derived from its exact same graphic.

The artwork is in the model of plant pressings uncovered in botanical publications. Also, early scientific drawings, which day at the minimum through the past two millennia. 

The artwork is built inside 30 minutes.

Below is the photograph taken 2121hrs 8th July:

Listed here is the photograph taken 2044hrs 15th August 2022:

As you can see with evaluating my artwork with the photographs, I bundled two buttercups and the sense of the meadow grasses going. The cottongrass in the latter photograph characteristics a few horizontal and a few vertically placed depictions of identical.

While I did not attempt to manner a confront from the cottongrass, it does appear to appear as these. Similarly the buttercups acquire a equivalent kind, showing up as eyes. I completely appreciate this piece. Rather truthfully it’s as great as I would hope for in my ‘planning’ an artwork.

I generate ‘planning’ [an artwork] because I rarely do so. Most of my operate is spontaneous as I attract or paint and many others.

In fact in my relatively spontaneous temper, you should let me share with you an artwork I built on/ahead of 29th June 2022, in about 1 hour and 10 minutes. Entitled: “Gosling Walking About”:

“Gosling Strolling About” [29th June 2022] by Matt The Unfathomable Artist, drawing with H, HB, 4B, 8B and charcoal adhere, unsigned on 280gsm 250mm x 300mm gesso primed canvas [pad], digitally edited picture 3026 x 2567 pixels.

I didn’t sign “Gosling Walking About” at the time as I was doubtful if I loved the artwork. I do. Even though I shall likely not indicator this artwork for no purpose by any means. Apart from.. I love this as it is on the canvas.

Far more spontaneity. Here are two pet dog artworks. Two unique younger canine from in just my family members. I’m not sure I at any time drew a dog prior to as an grownup, to be completely trustworthy.

The very first is “Untitled Canine Portrait”:

Astonishingly for the artwork, “Untitled Pet dog Portrait” functions a quite energetic spouse and children doggie.

Following we have a second family pet, a mischievous cute puppy dog, I shall call “Untitled Doggy Relaxing”:

This relatives pup found it all instead hilarious for me to chase him as he ran close to with some backyard garden flowers in his mouth the other working day. Below, he is pictured comforting under some shade hunting at me in July.
