“Three Trees in First Meadow” [31st March 2021] by Matt The Unfathomable Artist, 3H HB 3B pencils on 250gsm Artist’s paper signed in black ink.
Evening turned, a noctule bat darted bird-like in first meadow. Catching swarms of midges busily, mid-height hunting.
The faded light glorious, sunset dazzling yellow, reclining west. Between a field oak and far yonder trees behind. The latter trees appeared as silhouettes, echoing people stood still.
Rays of brilliance hinted flares upon the lens. Moments earlier I had recorded the hungry mammal, the first bat of any kind I’d seen in at least a year.
My first sketch draft took around forty minutes to outline the trees, fauna and sunset.
Then another twenty minutes very late evening that same day. Followed by specific detailing work taking up to half an hour the next day. Happily signing and photographing my work afterwards.
If you can zoom in on this artwork you will see the intricate tree bark layers built up over the sketching sessions.
Here is the photograph:

This artwork is in keeping with my series of impressionist sketches centering around conservation, minimalism and distinct forms artistically.
All inspired through photographs shot, thus far, in first and third meadow of my local Nature Reserve.
I hope you enjoy them as they’re all about feeling art rather than perfect replication.
