Working on this piece has made me pine to be back in Glacier again. The painting has brought back so many wonderful emotions about my passion for what is the most fabulous national park I've yet been able to experience. For me, hiking the trails of Many Glacier is like being in another world, totally segregated from the hubbub and "busyness" of my usual dayjob world - running a credit union! The opportunity to find myself in the presence such immense and fascinating creatures as the grizzly, the moose, big horn rams, and mountain goats up close and personally is just amazing! <BR><BR> The experience and the reference photos that gave life to this painting are so vivid for me that I can tell you exactly where I was, on which trail at which point along the trail, how I came upon the bear, and the utter excitement I felt as I realized I was in the presence of a bear. I was never scared, just awed by the vision. She was just so solid, and so self-absorbed. Yeah, she checked me out, and I made sure she knew just where I was, but she quickly determined I was not nearly important or irritating enough to interrupt her pursuit of insects in fallen, dead logs. <BR><BR> The strong colors, the "in your face" pose, and even the placement of the pine bough just over the head of the sow all have meaning for me. It was that kind of a moment, so strong and so vivid, and yet she never totally emerged all the way through the piney boughs under which she was ambling. <BR><BR> Can you feel it? </div> <div class="text_line"><br></div> <center> <center><A HREF="/gh/DisplayLargeImage+Username=lindamood+ServiceName=Welcome+PIC=20+Prefix=Large" target="_blank"><font FACE="Times New Roman,Arial" size="2" color="">Enlarge Image</font></a></center><div style="font-size: 5px"><br></div> <h3 style="margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:0px; padding:0px; text-align: center;"> </h3> <A HREF="/gh/DisplayLargeImage+Username=lindamood+ServiceName=Welcome+PIC=20+Prefix=Large" target="_blank"> <IMG class="MainImg" SRC="http://pictures.ezpics.net/Photos/Art/ezpics.net/lindamood/Welcome/20.jpg?20120712_030911.848_bA90qR7D" ALT=""Palmetto Contemplation" -wildlife artwork New Artwork by Patsy Lindamood, Wild Life Artist - Wild Things Artworkby Patsy Lindamood " Name="Wild Things Artwork by Patsy Lindamood " LongDesc="Wild things artwork and animal paintings in pastels, colored pencils and graphite by international artist Patsy Lindamood New Artwork by Patsy Lindamood, Wild Life Artist" BORDER="0" VSPACE="0" HSPACE="0"> <br> <a href="//pinterest.com/pin/create/button/?url=http://www.wildthingsartwork.com/gh/dynadex%2BUsername=lindamood%2BadwordsServiceName=Welcome&media=http://pictures.ezpics.net/Photos/Art/ezpics.net/lindamood/Welcome/20.jpg?20120712_030911.848_bA90qR7D&description=Palmetto Contemplation" data-pin-do="buttonPin" data-pin-config="none" target="_blank"> <img src="//assets.pinterest.com/images/pidgets/pin_it_button.png" /></a> </a><div class="ClickInfo">Click Image For Related Information</div> <div class="Caption">"Palmetto Contemplation"</div> </center> <div class="Text">This piece, a 24" x 36" pastel on Ampersand Pastelbord, was included in the 48th Annual Exhibition of the Society of animal Artists at The Neville Public Museum, Green Bay, WI, and then selected for the Society of Animal Artists National Tour in 2009. <BR><BR> This piece was included in Art of the Animal XIII, The Bennington Center for the Arts, Bennington, VT.<BR><BR> Most recently, "Palmetto Contemplation" is at The Mattatuck Museum,Waterbury, CT, as part of Renaissance in Pastel 2009, the 16th Annual National Exhibition of the Connecticut Pastel Society.<BR><BR> The painting is based on my photography of the Silverbacks at the Jacksonville Zoo, Jacksonville, FL, in January 2006. I have already completed several different silverback paintings based on my observations there. These guys just captivate me with their oh-so-humanlike gestures and behaviors. When one looks directly at you, you can't help but sense a high degree of intelligence and a certain distant kinship with these magnificent creatures. <BR><BR> With this piece, I was captivated by the silverback's handling of the palmetto frond, and the lighting that spills across his shoulder onto that frond is just makes me shiver every time I look at it. Besides the palmetto frond, and that slump against the trunk of the palmetto, I found this creatures hands fascinating - so human-like. Again, the way the light just barely illuminates a portion of each hand, epsecially those "fingers" that appear to be scratching the top of his head, were special points of interest for me. <BR><BR></div> <div class="text_line"><br></div> <center> <center><A HREF="/gh/DisplayLargeImage+Username=lindamood+ServiceName=Welcome+PIC=21+Prefix=Large" target="_blank"><font FACE="Times New Roman,Arial" size="2" color="">Enlarge Image</font></a></center><div style="font-size: 5px"><br></div> <h3 style="margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:0px; padding:0px; text-align: center;"> </h3> <A HREF="/gh/DisplayLargeImage+Username=lindamood+ServiceName=Welcome+PIC=21+Prefix=Large" target="_blank"> <IMG class="MainImg" SRC="http://pictures.ezpics.net/Photos/Art/ezpics.net/lindamood/Welcome/21.jpg?20120712_030911.848_bA90qR7D" ALT=""Pondering Diminishing Options" -wildlife artwork New Artwork by Patsy Lindamood, Wild Life Artist - Wild Things Artworkby Patsy Lindamood " Name="Wild Things Artwork by Patsy Lindamood " LongDesc="Wild things artwork and animal paintings in pastels, colored pencils and graphite by international artist Patsy Lindamood New Artwork by Patsy Lindamood, Wild Life Artist" BORDER="0" VSPACE="0" HSPACE="0"> <br> <a href="//pinterest.com/pin/create/button/?url=http://www.wildthingsartwork.com/gh/dynadex%2BUsername=lindamood%2BadwordsServiceName=Welcome&media=http://pictures.ezpics.net/Photos/Art/ezpics.net/lindamood/Welcome/21.jpg?20120712_030911.848_bA90qR7D&description=Pondering Diminishing Options" data-pin-do="buttonPin" data-pin-config="none" target="_blank"> <img src="//assets.pinterest.com/images/pidgets/pin_it_button.png" /></a> </a><div class="ClickInfo">Click Image For Related Information</div> <div class="Caption">"Pondering Diminishing Options"</div> </center> <div class="Text">36"H x 24"W Pastel on Ampersand Pastelbord.<BR><BR> "Pondering Diminishing Options" will be on exhibit at The Art Center of Plano, Plano, TX, as part of the 2009 National Juried Exhibition of the Pastel Society of the Southwest.<BR><BR> My personal experience with silverbacks has been limited to zoos, primarily the Jacksonville Zoo & Gardens in Florida which has three. I`ve been fascinated by them since the first time one looked me right in the eye while I was photographing him, as if he understood what I was doing and didn`t think much of it! The Western lowland gorilla has no known enemies except for humans, who have caused them to become endangered through the degradation of the tropical rainforest and illegal predation for profit. Their last chance for survival may well be a handful gorilla sanctuaries in Africa, zoos like the one in Jacksonville, and other protective captive environments. This silverback, head down and "back to the wall," symbolizes the shrinking options for the survival of the species. The world will be a "diminished" place if we fail to conserve them.</div> <div class="text_line"><br></div> <center> <center><A HREF="/gh/DisplayLargeImage+Username=lindamood+ServiceName=Welcome+PIC=25+Prefix=Large" target="_blank"><font FACE="Times New Roman,Arial" size="2" color="">Enlarge Image</font></a></center><div style="font-size: 5px"><br></div> <h3 style="margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:0px; padding:0px; text-align: center;"> </h3> <A HREF="/gh/DisplayLargeImage+Username=lindamood+ServiceName=Welcome+PIC=25+Prefix=Large" target="_blank"> <IMG class="MainImg" SRC="http://pictures.ezpics.net/Photos/Art/ezpics.net/lindamood/Welcome/25.jpg?20120712_030911.848_bA90qR7D" ALT=""Ready, Set. . .

We had stopped to view some elk seen from the road, standing back under the trees. Once we parked and crossed the road for a better view of the elk, we spied this coyote across the meadow, looking our way to check out the gathering crowd. <BR><BR> We assumed the coyote would turn around and head back into the trees himself. Instead, he began to criss-cross the field, heading in our direction. He actually came within some 20 feet or so of us, and I have some photos of him looking directly at me! (That's another painting!) Satisfied he knew what was up, he turned around and headed back across the meadow. The late afternoon light illuminating both the coyote, as he scoped the horizon, and the entire field created a stunning visual image I just had to try to capture in a painting. </div> <div class="text_line"><br></div> <center> <center><A HREF="/gh/DisplayLargeImage+Username=lindamood+ServiceName=Welcome+PIC=29+Prefix=Large" target="_blank"><font FACE="Times New Roman,Arial" size="2" color="">Enlarge Image</font></a></center><div style="font-size: 5px"><br></div> <h3 style="margin-top:0px;

I find this distinct "on alert" pose particularly compelling. He was checking out some zoo visitors passing behind me while I stood literally just the other side of his enclosure to photograph him.

Better yet, it is possible to complete this observation in close proximity to the creatures, which affords a supreme opportunity to study them closely. The snow leopard is an extradinarily magnificent creature, with luscious fur and eyes with a mesmerizing icy, greenish blue hue. <BR><BR> In this painting, I wanted to portray the intensity with which this cat fixes upon a target of its attention and the implied explosive power of its coiled-for-attack pose. <BR><BR> My artistic challenge in this work was to render the rock atop which snow leopard is poised in a way that would project mass and extreme texture. The rock needed to be rough and massive to enhance the appearance of the cat's strength and size. I sprayed the base painting of the rock with a pale gray enamel paint, purposely spattering the paint about the rock, then painted over the rock to complete the look. </div> <div class="text_line"><br></div> <center> <center><A HREF="/gh/DisplayLargeImage+Username=lindamood+ServiceName=Welcome+PIC=36+Prefix=Large" target="_blank"><font FACE="Times New Roman,Arial" size="2" color="">Enlarge Image</font></a></center><div style="font-size: 5px"><br></div> <h3 style="margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:0px; padding:0px; text-align: center;"> </h3> <A HREF="/gh/DisplayLargeImage+Username=lindamood+ServiceName=Welcome+PIC=36+Prefix=Large" target="_blank"> <IMG class="MainImg" SRC="http://pictures.ezpics.net/Photos/Art/ezpics.net/lindamood/Welcome/36.jpg?20120712_030911.848_bA90qR7D" ALT=""Questioning the Future" -wildlife artwork New Artwork by Patsy Lindamood, Wild Life Artist - Wild Things Artworkby Patsy Lindamood " Name="Wild Things Artwork by Patsy Lindamood " LongDesc="Wild things artwork and animal paintings in pastels, colored pencils and graphite by international artist Patsy Lindamood New Artwork by Patsy Lindamood, Wild Life Artist" BORDER="0" VSPACE="0" HSPACE="0"> <br> <a href="//pinterest.com/pin/create/button/?url=http://www.wildthingsartwork.com/gh/dynadex%2BUsername=lindamood%2BadwordsServiceName=Welcome&media=http://pictures.ezpics.net/Photos/Art/ezpics.net/lindamood/Welcome/36.jpg?20120712_030911.848_bA90qR7D&description=Questioning the Future" data-pin-do="buttonPin" data-pin-config="none" target="_blank"> <img src="//assets.pinterest.com/images/pidgets/pin_it_button.png" /></a> </a><div class="ClickInfo">Click Image For Related Information</div> <div class="Caption">"Questioning the Future"</div> </center> <div class="Text">24" H x 18" W Pastel on Ampersand Pastelbord<>The snow leopard is an elegant and elusive creature.

I find them to be exceptionally majestic, especially as they perch atop high snags and look down upon their world. <BR><BR> This eagle was spotted in the Viera Wetlands, one of my most favored birding sites, because of the diversity of avian life there but even more so because some of my favorite birds spend at least part of the year in that location. We were actually on our way out of the Wetlands when this bird was cited. The snag on which he was staged was quite high, and without a powerful telephone lens, I would not have had much of reference to work from. <BR><BR> My composition for this piece is quite conscious. I set out to create a strongly vertical piece, to convey the height at which one normally finds this bird. Then, I wanted his head to be placed in the upper left-hand corner, the place where the Western "eye" begins to read any page of text, any visual image. The torque of his body as he looks back over his shoulder enhances the dimensionality of this pose, helping to show of the massive size of these birds. The angled snag promotes the sense of strength the eagle conveys in this pose, because it appears that strength is required to remain firmly atop the leaning snag. <BR><BR></div> <div class="text_line"><br></div> <center> <center><A HREF="/gh/DisplayLargeImage+Username=lindamood+ServiceName=Welcome+PIC=38+Prefix=Large" target="_blank"><font FACE="Times New Roman,Arial" size="2" color="">Enlarge Image</font></a></center><div style="font-size: 5px"><br></div> <h3 style="margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:0px; padding:0px; text-align: center;"> </h3> <A HREF="/gh/DisplayLargeImage+Username=lindamood+ServiceName=Welcome+PIC=38+Prefix=Large" target="_blank"> <IMG class="MainImg" SRC="http://pictures.ezpics.net/Photos/Art/ezpics.net/lindamood/Welcome/38.jpg?20120712_030911.848_bA90qR7D" ALT=""Wood Stork Inspection" -wildlife artwork New Artwork by Patsy Lindamood, Wild Life Artist - Wild Things Artworkby Patsy Lindamood " Name="Wild Things Artwork by Patsy Lindamood " LongDesc="Wild things artwork and animal paintings in pastels, colored pencils and graphite by international artist Patsy Lindamood New Artwork by Patsy Lindamood, Wild Life Artist" BORDER="0" VSPACE="0" HSPACE="0"> <br> <a href="//pinterest.com/pin/create/button/?url=http://www.wildthingsartwork.com/gh/dynadex%2BUsername=lindamood%2BadwordsServiceName=Welcome&media=http://pictures.ezpics.net/Photos/Art/ezpics.net/lindamood/Welcome/38.jpg?20120712_030911.848_bA90qR7D&description=Wood Stork Inspection" data-pin-do="buttonPin" data-pin-config="none" target="_blank"> <img src="//assets.pinterest.com/images/pidgets/pin_it_button.png" /></a> </a><div class="ClickInfo">Click Image For Related Information</div> <div class="Caption">"Wood Stork Inspection"</div> </center> <div class="Text">"Wood Stork Inspection," a 24" H x 36" W pastel painting, is yet another "installment" in my series of wood stork paintings. <BR><BR> I was drawn to the drama of this scene as hiked a trail in the Sebastian Inlet area on the east coast of Florida.

But the area is also home to wildlife, of which one of the most endearing is the squirrel who inhabits the trail areas that go down into the base of the canyon. I managed to hike down maybe two miles or so last year, out to a point where we could sit enjoy looking out over the canyon, but I found much to savor on the way down. This little guy was just too cute as he kept standing up on his tippy-toes to consume the buds of this succulent canyon. I knew as I photographed him that he would have to star in painting. <BR><BR> Although the squirrel wins the "cuteness" award, these sunwashed cacti were as compelling for me as the squirrel. I had come upon this scene in the late afternoon, and the low angle of the sun bathed the entire setting in a warm, golden light. I just hoped that day that I could visually remember the look and feel of that sun back in my studio. </div> <div class="text_line"><br></div> <center> <center><A HREF="/gh/DisplayLargeImage+Username=lindamood+ServiceName=Welcome+PIC=40+Prefix=Large" target="_blank"><font FACE="Times New Roman,Arial" size="2" color="">Enlarge Image</font></a></center><div style="font-size: 5px"><br></div> <h3 style="margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:0px; padding:0px; text-align: center;"> </h3> <A HREF="/gh/DisplayLargeImage+Username=lindamood+ServiceName=Welcome+PIC=40+Prefix=Large" target="_blank"> <IMG class="MainImg" SRC="http://pictures.ezpics.net/Photos/Art/ezpics.net/lindamood/Welcome/40.jpg?20120712_030911.848_bA90qR7D" ALT=""Maternal Moment" -wildlife artwork New Artwork by Patsy Lindamood, Wild Life Artist - Wild Things Artworkby Patsy Lindamood " Name="Wild Things Artwork by Patsy Lindamood " LongDesc="Wild things artwork and animal paintings in pastels, colored pencils and graphite by international artist Patsy Lindamood New Artwork by Patsy Lindamood, Wild Life Artist" BORDER="0" VSPACE="0" HSPACE="0"> <br> <a href="//pinterest.com/pin/create/button/?url=http://www.wildthingsartwork.com/gh/dynadex%2BUsername=lindamood%2BadwordsServiceName=Welcome&media=http://pictures.ezpics.net/Photos/Art/ezpics.net/lindamood/Welcome/40.jpg?20120712_030911.848_bA90qR7D&description=Maternal Moment" data-pin-do="buttonPin" data-pin-config="none" target="_blank"> <img src="//assets.pinterest.com/images/pidgets/pin_it_button.png" /></a> </a><div class="ClickInfo">Click Image For Related Information</div> <div class="Caption">"Maternal Moment"</div> </center> <div class="Text">36"H x 24" W Pastel on Ampersand Pastelbord.<BR><BR> On of my employees at the credit union raises horses which he rides in barrel racing. One of his paints had a colt back in the spring. I love the coloration and markings of the paints (Jeramie is trying to educate me on what is required to be classified as a "paint"), and I will stop the car traveling down the highway for a chance to photograph them. But, rather than just painting a typical frolicking colt piece, I wanted to do something that would portray the relationship between mare and colt. The mare is heavy, solid, and large compared to her thin, fragile colt. The curve of her neck, particularly from this angle, projects both strength and tenderness, as she leans down to inspect her newborn. </div> <div class="text_line"><br></div> <center> <center><A HREF="/gh/DisplayLargeImage+Username=lindamood+ServiceName=Welcome+PIC=44+Prefix=Large" target="_blank"><font FACE="Times New Roman,Arial" size="2" color="">Enlarge Image</font></a></center><div style="font-size: 5px"><br></div> <h3 style="margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:0px; padding:0px; text-align: center;"> </h3> <A HREF="/gh/DisplayLargeImage+Username=lindamood+ServiceName=Welcome+PIC=44+Prefix=Large" target="_blank"> <IMG class="MainImg" SRC="http://pictures.ezpics.net/Photos/Art/ezpics.net/lindamood/Welcome/44.jpg?20120712_030911.848_bA90qR7D" ALT=""Ducking Out" -wildlife artwork New Artwork by Patsy Lindamood, Wild Life Artist - Wild Things Artworkby Patsy Lindamood " Name="Wild Things Artwork by Patsy Lindamood " LongDesc="Wild things artwork and animal paintings in pastels, colored pencils and graphite by international artist Patsy Lindamood New Artwork by Patsy Lindamood, Wild Life Artist" BORDER="0" VSPACE="0" HSPACE="0"> <br> <a href="//pinterest.com/pin/create/button/?url=http://www.wildthingsartwork.com/gh/dynadex%2BUsername=lindamood%2BadwordsServiceName=Welcome&media=http://pictures.ezpics.net/Photos/Art/ezpics.net/lindamood/Welcome/44.jpg?20120712_030911.848_bA90qR7D&description=Ducking Out" data-pin-do="buttonPin" data-pin-config="none" target="_blank"> <img src="//assets.pinterest.com/images/pidgets/pin_it_button.png" /></a> </a><div class="ClickInfo">Click Image For Related Information</div> <div class="Caption">"Ducking Out"</div> </center> <div class="text_line"><br></div> <center> <center><A HREF="/gh/DisplayLargeImage+Username=lindamood+ServiceName=Welcome+PIC=45+Prefix=Large" target="_blank"><font FACE="Times New Roman,Arial" size="2" color="">Enlarge Image</font></a></center><div style="font-size: 5px"><br></div> <h3 style="margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:0px; padding:0px; text-align: center;"> </h3> <A HREF="/gh/DisplayLargeImage+Username=lindamood+ServiceName=Welcome+PIC=45+Prefix=Large" target="_blank"> <IMG class="MainImg" SRC="http://pictures.ezpics.net/Photos/Art/ezpics.net/lindamood/Welcome/45.jpg?20120712_030911.848_bA90qR7D" ALT=""Giraffe in a Box" -wildlife artwork New Artwork by Patsy Lindamood, Wild Life Artist - Wild Things Artworkby Patsy Lindamood " Name="Wild Things Artwork by Patsy Lindamood " LongDesc="Wild things artwork and animal paintings in pastels, colored pencils and graphite by international artist Patsy Lindamood New Artwork by Patsy Lindamood, Wild Life Artist" BORDER="0" VSPACE="0" HSPACE="0"> <br> <a href="//pinterest.com/pin/create/button/?url=http://www.wildthingsartwork.com/gh/dynadex%2BUsername=lindamood%2BadwordsServiceName=Welcome&media=http://pictures.ezpics.net/Photos/Art/ezpics.net/lindamood/Welcome/45.jpg?20120712_030911.848_bA90qR7D&description=Giraffe in a Box" data-pin-do="buttonPin" data-pin-config="none" target="_blank"> <img src="//assets.pinterest.com/images/pidgets/pin_it_button.png" /></a> </a><div class="ClickInfo">Click Image For Related Information</div> <div class="Caption">"Giraffe in a Box"</div> </center> <div class="Text">17" H x 24" W Colored Pencil on Ampersand Pastelbord, washed with black gouache.

Some may think this honor has been conveyed to recognize my skill with the use of the colored pencil media. I think this giraffe's personality just stole the show!<BR><BR> My husband and I have friends in Houston, TX. A visit with them is a grand opportunity to explore any number of fabulous wildlife refuges and state parks full indigenous creatures and migrating birds. It's also an opportunity to visit the Houston Zoo, home to a number of African mammals that I've never yet had the opportunity to see in their natural environments. While the zoo has numerous species, and some beautiful garden areas, most of the animals are "housed" in enclosures rather than habitats. The giraffes are one of my favorites, but I woo that they have such a limited exhibit area and spend their evenings in a tall barn enclosure. Regardless, you have to smile when you see them peeking out through openings in the gates to watch the zoo visitors heading towards the exits at the end of the day. My husband and I both probably shot some 30 or 40 frames apiece a few years ago on our way out, making a last stop back by the giraffe exhibit. They all had what we perceived as goofy expressions as they peered out at us. I guessed we looked goofily back at them, since the giraffes' heads looked as if they were suspended in air, since their elongated bodies and necks were hidden behind the closed barn door, and the barn in which they stood was dark. The "floating" giraffe heads reminded me of those jack-in-the-box toys I had as a kid.</div> <div class="text_line"><br></div> <center> <center><A HREF="/gh/DisplayLargeImage+Username=lindamood+ServiceName=Welcome+PIC=46+Prefix=Large" target="_blank"><font FACE="Times New Roman,Arial" size="2" color="">Enlarge Image</font></a></center><div style="font-size: 5px"><br></div> <h3 style="margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:0px; padding:0px; text-align: center;"> </h3> <A HREF="/gh/DisplayLargeImage+Username=lindamood+ServiceName=Welcome+PIC=46+Prefix=Large" target="_blank"> <IMG class="MainImg" SRC="http://pictures.ezpics.net/Photos/Art/ezpics.net/lindamood/Welcome/46.jpg?20120712_030911.848_bA90qR7D" ALT=""Cranes Eye View" - wildlife artwork New Artwork by Patsy Lindamood, Wild Life Artist - Wild Things Artworkby Patsy Lindamood " Name="Wild Things Artwork by Patsy Lindamood " LongDesc="Wild things artwork and animal paintings in pastels, colored pencils and graphite by international artist Patsy Lindamood New Artwork by Patsy Lindamood, Wild Life Artist" BORDER="0" VSPACE="0" HSPACE="0"> <br> <a href="//pinterest.com/pin/create/button/?url=http://www.wildthingsartwork.com/gh/dynadex%2BUsername=lindamood%2BadwordsServiceName=Welcome&media=http://pictures.ezpics.net/Photos/Art/ezpics.net/lindamood/Welcome/46.jpg?20120712_030911.848_bA90qR7D&description=Crane's Eye View" data-pin-do="buttonPin" data-pin-config="none" target="_blank"> <img src="//assets.pinterest.com/images/pidgets/pin_it_button.png" /></a> </a><div class="ClickInfo">Click Image For Related Information</div> <div class="Caption">"Crane's Eye View"</div> </center> <div class="Text">"Crane's Eye View" is a 12" H x 18" W colored pencil with gouache painting.

I caught all kinds of engaging poses where he had his nose tilted up to smell the fir trees in the field where he was running, or as he ran and pranced around, exploring everything. But it was the rapt expression in this pose that absolutely captivated me. Ironically, TC is behind a stand of flowers and next to a blue-jeaned leg in my reference photo. I first set out to paint him among the wildflowers, until further research revealed the flowers were knoxious weeds that the state of Montana pays people to eradicate, and of course the blue-jeaned leg had to go. I ended up setting this painting aside for weeks until it came to me to use the green "atmosphere" behind TC and just to leave out greenery altogether, leaving just the coyote - coyote simple. </div> <div class="text_line"><br></div> <center> <center><A HREF="/gh/DisplayLargeImage+Username=lindamood+ServiceName=Welcome+PIC=49+Prefix=Large" target="_blank"><font FACE="Times New Roman,Arial" size="2" color="">Enlarge Image</font></a></center><div style="font-size: 5px"><br></div> <h3 style="margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:0px; padding:0px; text-align: center;"> </h3> <A HREF="/gh/DisplayLargeImage+Username=lindamood+ServiceName=Welcome+PIC=49+Prefix=Large" target="_blank"> <IMG class="MainImg" SRC="http://pictures.ezpics.net/Photos/Art/ezpics.net/lindamood/Welcome/49.jpg?20120712_030911.848_bA90qR7D" ALT=""At One with the Environment" -wildlife artwork New Artwork by Patsy Lindamood, Wild Life Artist - Wild Things Artworkby Patsy Lindamood " Name="Wild Things Artwork by Patsy Lindamood " LongDesc="Wild things artwork and animal paintings in pastels, colored pencils and graphite by international artist Patsy Lindamood New Artwork by Patsy Lindamood, Wild Life Artist" BORDER="0" VSPACE="0" HSPACE="0"> <br> <a href="//pinterest.com/pin/create/button/?url=http://www.wildthingsartwork.com/gh/dynadex%2BUsername=lindamood%2BadwordsServiceName=Welcome&media=http://pictures.ezpics.net/Photos/Art/ezpics.net/lindamood/Welcome/49.jpg?20120712_030911.848_bA90qR7D&description=At One with the Environment" data-pin-do="buttonPin" data-pin-config="none" target="_blank"> <img src="//assets.pinterest.com/images/pidgets/pin_it_button.png" /></a> </a><div class="ClickInfo">Click Image For Related Information</div> <div class="Caption">"At One with the Environment"</div> </center> <div class="Text">24"H x 17"W Pastel on Ampersand Pastelbord.

On several occasions during our September 2008 trip to Yellowstone National Park we had the fortune to view groups of these swift and graceful antelope pounding across wide open spaces. But on one of the last evenings in the park, headed back to camp at the conclusion of a long day of exploration, we stopped to visit with this individual as he grazed alone near the road. I slogged down through some boggy grasses to reach the solid plain where he was grazing. He kept a close eye on me, but did not seem terribly concerned to have me close by. Those eyes, with their long lush lashes are just incredible. These eyes serve the pronghorn well, allowing him to pick up movement as far as three miles away. Located far back on the head, the eyes enable the pronhorn to keep watch even while the head is down during feeding. Since the prairie offers little cover in which to hide, it needs to be able to outrun any predators that manage to sneak within striking range. <BR><BR> I did not realize, however, until I was back home in the studio laying out my painting, how the pronghorn's coat and coloring afford it a type of protection out on the open plain, especially where the grasses are dry. With late afternoon sun enhancing the golden tones of his coat, as well as the open field, this pronghorn seems to be of a piece with the vegetation he was feeding on - at one with the environment. </div> <div class="text_line"><br></div> <center> <center><A HREF="/gh/DisplayLargeImage+Username=lindamood+ServiceName=Welcome+PIC=50+Prefix=Large" target="_blank"><font FACE="Times New Roman,Arial" size="2" color="">Enlarge Image</font></a></center><div style="font-size: 5px"><br></div> <h3 style="margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:0px; padding:0px; text-align: center;"> </h3> <A HREF="/gh/DisplayLargeImage+Username=lindamood+ServiceName=Welcome+PIC=50+Prefix=Large" target="_blank"> <IMG class="MainImg" SRC="http://pictures.ezpics.net/Photos/Art/ezpics.net/lindamood/Welcome/50.jpg?20120712_030911.848_bA90qR7D" ALT=""Bear Walk at Avalanche Lake" -wildlife artwork New Artwork by Patsy Lindamood, Wild Life Artist - Wild Things Artworkby Patsy Lindamood " Name="Wild Things Artwork by Patsy Lindamood " LongDesc="Wild things artwork and animal paintings in pastels, colored pencils and graphite by international artist Patsy Lindamood New Artwork by Patsy Lindamood, Wild Life Artist" BORDER="0" VSPACE="0" HSPACE="0"> <br> <a href="//pinterest.com/pin/create/button/?url=http://www.wildthingsartwork.com/gh/dynadex%2BUsername=lindamood%2BadwordsServiceName=Welcome&media=http://pictures.ezpics.net/Photos/Art/ezpics.net/lindamood/Welcome/50.jpg?20120712_030911.848_bA90qR7D&description=Bear Walk at Avalanche Lake" data-pin-do="buttonPin" data-pin-config="none" target="_blank"> <img src="//assets.pinterest.com/images/pidgets/pin_it_button.png" /></a> </a><div class="ClickInfo">Click Image For Related Information</div> <div class="Caption">"Bear Walk at Avalanche Lake"</div> </center> <div class="Text">16" H x 24" W Pastel on Ampersand Pastelbord.

This piece will be on tour through 2010 as part of the Paint the Parks100 national tour. <BR><BR> During our 2007 trip to Glacier National Park, we spent a few days camping by Avalanche Lake. My huband, who had concluded his fishing efforts for the day, suggested we work our way around the far side of the lake to explore. About the time we decided we should head back to camp for the night, having found no wildlife whatsoever in our "explorations," we spotted a black bear and her cubs coming out of the woods down to the edge of the lake. I started photographing them, and they started walking our way. My husband, who is usually bold and adventurous, admonished me "enough already - time to back away." I ignored him, shooting frame after frame as the sow continued my way. Eventually, I did heed his warning, since it appeared she was intent on working her way on around the lake towards us. <BR><BR> I relish the challenge of depicting reflections in water, and this scene provided plenty of material. As interesting as the reflections are, the repeating "V" shapes in the painting are even more intriguing. The vertically-oriented stone on the left forms a "V" with the leaning stump to its right, then the much larger "V" formed by this leaning stump and the one to its right on the shoreline and their reflections in the water, followed by the bear's hind legs which are repeated in her reflection in the water, finally leaving the painting on the right side with the "V" formed by the bear's neck and front right leg. Even her head, as she looks ahead to scope out the path ahead of her, takes on a soft and subtle "V" shape.</div> <div class="text_line"><br></div> <center> <center><A HREF="/gh/DisplayLargeImage+Username=lindamood+ServiceName=Welcome+PIC=51+Prefix=Large" target="_blank"><font FACE="Times New Roman,Arial" size="2" color="">Enlarge Image</font></a></center><div style="font-size: 5px"><br></div> <h3 style="margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:0px; padding:0px; text-align: center;"> </h3> <A HREF="/gh/DisplayLargeImage+Username=lindamood+ServiceName=Welcome+PIC=51+Prefix=Large" target="_blank"> <IMG class="MainImg" SRC="http://pictures.ezpics.net/Photos/Art/ezpics.net/lindamood/Welcome/51.jpg?20120712_030911.848_bA90qR7D" ALT=""Backlit Big Horn in the Shadow of Haystack Butte" -wildlife artwork New Artwork by Patsy Lindamood, Wild Life Artist - Wild Things Artworkby Patsy Lindamood " Name="Wild Things Artwork by Patsy Lindamood " LongDesc="Wild things artwork and animal paintings in pastels, colored pencils and graphite by international artist Patsy Lindamood New Artwork by Patsy Lindamood, Wild Life Artist" BORDER="0" VSPACE="0" HSPACE="0"> <br> <a href="//pinterest.com/pin/create/button/?url=http://www.wildthingsartwork.com/gh/dynadex%2BUsername=lindamood%2BadwordsServiceName=Welcome&media=http://pictures.ezpics.net/Photos/Art/ezpics.net/lindamood/Welcome/51.jpg?20120712_030911.848_bA90qR7D&description=Backlit Big Horn in the Shadow of Haystack Butte" data-pin-do="buttonPin" data-pin-config="none" target="_blank"> <img src="//assets.pinterest.com/images/pidgets/pin_it_button.png" /></a> </a><div class="ClickInfo">Click Image For Related Information</div> <div class="Caption">"Backlit Big Horn in the Shadow of Haystack Butte"</div> </center> <div class="Text">23" H x 20" W Colored Pencil and Water Soluble Wax Pastel on mylar, mounted on archival mat board.<BR><BR> "Backlit Big Horn" has been juried into several different juried exhibitions, including the 2008 Emerald Spring Exhibition, Emerald Art Center, Springfield, OR; the 23rd Annual Conservatory Art Classic at the Bosque Conservatory, Clifton, TX; and more recently it has been selected as one of the Paint the Parks100 for 2009.

We had just one afternoon and a few hours the next morning to complete a couple of drive-thru's of the park. Despite the short time frame for experiencing the park, we were extremely fortunate to come upon the sort of road jam on our way out of the park that always signals a wildlife sighting. About a dozen big horn ewe were scattered around the curve of a mountainside, while a ram and several more ewe watched over them from a high ridge vantage point across the gulch. As more and more park visitors gathered to observe and photograph, the ram on the ridge stood and walked to the edge of the ridge. Two ewe came forward to stand with him, peering out across the gulch -- and to keep a sharp lookout over the gathering tourists on the road. <BR><BR> Later, reviewing all the shots from that stop, I found the red rock setting as beautiful and compelling as the wildlife that made me stop in the first place. I set out to paint the red rock ridge as if it were an abstact painting - all lines, angles, and complex patterns of red and orange. The big horns are still an integral element of the piece. My intent for them was to depict them with a sense of focus and vigilance, carefully observing and analyzing the situation to determine if a defensive course of action were called for. Clearly the ewe took all their cues from their ram, and the ram was clearly intent on protecting his females. The trio of them, poised their on the ridge, look like a group of "wildlife" rangers, overseeing the park to make sure all was well with the world. </div> <div class="text_line"><br></div> <center> <center><A HREF="/gh/DisplayLargeImage+Username=lindamood+ServiceName=Welcome+PIC=53+Prefix=Large" target="_blank"><font FACE="Times New Roman,Arial" size="2" color="">Enlarge Image</font></a></center><div style="font-size: 5px"><br></div> <h3 style="margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:0px; padding:0px; text-align: center;"> </h3> <A HREF="/gh/DisplayLargeImage+Username=lindamood+ServiceName=Welcome+PIC=53+Prefix=Large" target="_blank"> <IMG class="MainImg" SRC="http://pictures.ezpics.net/Photos/Art/ezpics.net/lindamood/Welcome/53.jpg?20120712_030911.848_bA90qR7D" ALT=""Big Horn Quartet at Zion National" -wildlife artwork New Artwork by Patsy Lindamood, Wild Life Artist - Wild Things Artworkby Patsy Lindamood " Name="Wild Things Artwork by Patsy Lindamood " LongDesc="Wild things artwork and animal paintings in pastels, colored pencils and graphite by international artist Patsy Lindamood New Artwork by Patsy Lindamood, Wild Life Artist" BORDER="0" VSPACE="0" HSPACE="0"> <br> <a href="//pinterest.com/pin/create/button/?url=http://www.wildthingsartwork.com/gh/dynadex%2BUsername=lindamood%2BadwordsServiceName=Welcome&media=http://pictures.ezpics.net/Photos/Art/ezpics.net/lindamood/Welcome/53.jpg?20120712_030911.848_bA90qR7D&description=Big Horn Quartet at Zion National" data-pin-do="buttonPin" data-pin-config="none" target="_blank"> <img src="//assets.pinterest.com/images/pidgets/pin_it_button.png" /></a> </a><div class="ClickInfo">Click Image For Related Information</div> <div class="Caption">"Big Horn Quartet at Zion National"</div> </center> <div class="Text">24" H x 36" W Pastel on Ampersand Pastelbord.<BR><BR> When I was photographing the group of big horns at Zion National Park of which this quartet was just a small number, I had a vision that day to paint a piece based on this quartet, to attempt to capture their sense of watchfulness and that awesome vast blue sky behind them. As it turned out, I painted "Red Rock Rangers" first, unable to resist the temptation to work with the intriquing abstract quality of the red rock wall. But when that was done, I still wanted to paint more big horn, and I still really wanted to try to paint "that sky."<BR><BR> This piece has a totally different feel from "Red Rock Rangers," although the trio in that piece are part of this same quartet of animals. I think that the massive sky as a backdrop provides a totally different feel. The size of the piece is integral to my attempt to depict the expansiveness of the western sky and the quality of the air in that part of the country. These sheep are big animals, yet they are miniscule compared to the scale and grandeur of the red rock formations of Zion. <BR><BR> I think that both these pieces mark a turning point in my devlepment as a wildlife painter in that the more I explore nature and the more I paint based on those explorations, the stronger my sense of the integral connection that exists between wildlife and their habitats. <BR><BR></div> <div class="text_line"><br></div> <center> <center><A HREF="/gh/DisplayLargeImage+Username=lindamood+ServiceName=Welcome+PIC=54+Prefix=Large" target="_blank"><font FACE="Times New Roman,Arial" size="2" color="">Enlarge Image</font></a></center><div style="font-size: 5px"><br></div> <h3 style="margin-top:0px;

This piece will be part of an invitational exhibition at Melrose Bay Gallery, Gainesville, FL, Nov - Dec 2009.<BR><BR> A quick perusal of my web site will reflect that most of my work is large, with many pieces upwards of 24 x 36. A 2009 call to members of the Society of Animal Artists for an exhibition and sale of small works at The Wildlife Experience in Parker, CO, however, ignited a new passion for me - working small! My small works, however, are all of small creatures, so in most cases the creatures depicted in them are close to life-size. All these works are being executed with color pencil and water soluble wax pastel. The paintings are then sealed with a matte UV Clear Acrylic finish, followed by coats of Krylon Triple Thick, then more UV Clear Acrylic. The final result is a well-protected colored pencil work that can be framed without glass and that has the appearance of an acrylic painting. <BR><BR> "Rice Paper Butterfly" is based on photography I did at The Cockrell Butterfly Center at the Houston Museum of Natural Science. Composition was critical for this little gem. I did not want a "specimen" style of pose for the butterfly. Instead, I wanted to depict a butterfly behavior which would include a typical butterfly habitat as well. This piece is filled with lots of interesting intersections or "v's" which are accentuated by the complementary colors of red and green intersecting with each other. Butterfly bodies are based on a "v" shape - wings that intersect with a long, cylindrical section. <BR><BR></div> <div class="text_line"><br></div> <center> <center><A HREF="/gh/DisplayLargeImage+Username=lindamood+ServiceName=Welcome+PIC=57+Prefix=Large" target="_blank"><font FACE="Times New Roman,Arial" size="2" color="">Enlarge Image</font></a></center><div style="font-size: 5px"><br></div> <h3 style="margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:0px; padding:0px; text-align: center;"> </h3> <A HREF="/gh/DisplayLargeImage+Username=lindamood+ServiceName=Welcome+PIC=57+Prefix=Large" target="_blank"> <IMG class="MainImg" SRC="http://pictures.ezpics.net/Photos/Art/ezpics.net/lindamood/Welcome/57.jpg?20120712_030911.848_bA90qR7D" ALT=""Dragonfly I - Silver" -wildlife artwork New Artwork by Patsy Lindamood, Wild Life Artist - Wild Things Artworkby Patsy Lindamood " Name="Wild Things Artwork by Patsy Lindamood " LongDesc="Wild things artwork and animal paintings in pastels, colored pencils and graphite by international artist Patsy Lindamood New Artwork by Patsy Lindamood, Wild Life Artist" BORDER="0" VSPACE="0" HSPACE="0"> <br> <a href="//pinterest.com/pin/create/button/?url=http://www.wildthingsartwork.com/gh/dynadex%2BUsername=lindamood%2BadwordsServiceName=Welcome&media=http://pictures.ezpics.net/Photos/Art/ezpics.net/lindamood/Welcome/57.jpg?20120712_030911.848_bA90qR7D&description=Dragonfly I - Silver" data-pin-do="buttonPin" data-pin-config="none" target="_blank"> <img src="//assets.pinterest.com/images/pidgets/pin_it_button.png" /></a> </a><div class="ClickInfo">Click Image For Related Information</div> <div class="Caption">"Dragonfly I - Silver"</div> </center> <div class="Text">7"H x 10"W Colored Pencil and Water Soluble Wax Pastel on Ampersand Pastelbord.

I have intended to paint dragonflies for a couple of years now, but never really found the right reference material until my now-annual 2008 "western sojourn." Chasing after grizzlies (and we did site one at a distance right before dark), we found a lake shore aswarm with huge dragonflies. <BR><BR> This subject dragonfly has distinctive dark markings on his almost transparent wings. I pushed the contrasts of light and dark throughout the painting in an attempt to cause the dragonfly to "pop" yet still appear to be well integrated with his habitate. For the same reason, I chose to keep the palette limited to a few well-related cool colors. This sense of cool greeness recreates for me the look and feel of the lake shore where I found this dragonfly. <BR><BR></div> <div class="text_line"><br></div> <center> <center><A HREF="/gh/DisplayLargeImage+Username=lindamood+ServiceName=Welcome+PIC=58+Prefix=Large" target="_blank"><font FACE="Times New Roman,Arial" size="2" color="">Enlarge Image</font></a></center><div style="font-size: 5px"><br></div> <h3 style="margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:0px; padding:0px; text-align: center;"> </h3> <A HREF="/gh/DisplayLargeImage+Username=lindamood+ServiceName=Welcome+PIC=58+Prefix=Large" target="_blank"> <IMG class="MainImg" SRC="http://pictures.ezpics.net/Photos/Art/ezpics.net/lindamood/Welcome/58.jpg?20120712_030911.848_bA90qR7D" ALT=""Camouflage, Amphibian Style" -wildlife artwork New Artwork by Patsy Lindamood, Wild Life Artist - Wild Things Artworkby Patsy Lindamood " Name="Wild Things Artwork by Patsy Lindamood " LongDesc="Wild things artwork and animal paintings in pastels, colored pencils and graphite by international artist Patsy Lindamood New Artwork by Patsy Lindamood, Wild Life Artist" BORDER="0" VSPACE="0" HSPACE="0"> <br> <a href="//pinterest.com/pin/create/button/?url=http://www.wildthingsartwork.com/gh/dynadex%2BUsername=lindamood%2BadwordsServiceName=Welcome&media=http://pictures.ezpics.net/Photos/Art/ezpics.net/lindamood/Welcome/58.jpg?20120712_030911.848_bA90qR7D&description=Camouflage, Amphibian Style" data-pin-do="buttonPin" data-pin-config="none" target="_blank"> <img src="//assets.pinterest.com/images/pidgets/pin_it_button.png" /></a> </a><div class="ClickInfo">Click Image For Related Information</div> <div class="Caption">"Camouflage, Amphibian Style"</div> </center> <div class="Text">8"W x 10" W Colored Pencil on Ampersand Pastelbord. <BR><BR> While camping at Rocky Bayou State Park, Niceville, FL (near Destin and Ft Walton Beach), I took some photographs of one of our campsite vistors - a large orange toad.

On one of our many trips to the Viera Wetlands, one of my favorite birding spots, I had one of those moments, shooting a glossy ibis with strong backlighting from a late afternoon sun. I have a thing for painting reflections, and this reflection occurs in rippled water. Painting a dark bird from the shadow side was actually the greater challenge, as it is difficult to render something dark, in shadow, and still have it give the appearance of having girth, or dimension. <BR><BR> I started work on this piece between Christmas and New Year's, 2008, while visiting friends in Houston. I completed quite a bit of the base painting while there, but for some reason, once I got home, my progress moved at a snail's pace. I would work on the piece a little here and there, adding more and more layers, using considerable amounts of InkTense and Neocolor II which I would smooth into the Pastelbord with water and a brush. Finally, in April 2009, I decided it was time to "git er done." <BR><BR> The final result has my trademark strong coloration, but it does have a a rather different look and feel to it. Late afternoon sun bouncing off water in South Florida has a particular look to it, and I think the painting does have something of that quality of bouncing light. <BR><BR> </div> <div class="text_line"><br></div> <center> <center><A HREF="/gh/DisplayLargeImage+Username=lindamood+ServiceName=Welcome+PIC=62+Prefix=Large" target="_blank"><font FACE="Times New Roman,Arial" size="2" color="">Enlarge Image</font></a></center><div style="font-size: 5px"><br></div> <h3 style="margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:0px; padding:0px; text-align: center;"> </h3> <A HREF="/gh/DisplayLargeImage+Username=lindamood+ServiceName=Welcome+PIC=62+Prefix=Large" target="_blank"> <IMG class="MainImg" SRC="http://pictures.ezpics.net/Photos/Art/ezpics.net/lindamood/Welcome/62.jpg?20120712_030911.848_bA90qR7D" ALT=""Who Goes There?" -wildlife artwork New Artwork by Patsy Lindamood, Wild Life Artist - Wild Things Artworkby Patsy Lindamood " Name="Wild Things Artwork by Patsy Lindamood " LongDesc="Wild things artwork and animal paintings in pastels, colored pencils and graphite by international artist Patsy Lindamood New Artwork by Patsy Lindamood, Wild Life Artist" BORDER="0" VSPACE="0" HSPACE="0"> <br> <a href="//pinterest.com/pin/create/button/?url=http://www.wildthingsartwork.com/gh/dynadex%2BUsername=lindamood%2BadwordsServiceName=Welcome&media=http://pictures.ezpics.net/Photos/Art/ezpics.net/lindamood/Welcome/62.jpg?20120712_030911.848_bA90qR7D&description=Who Goes There?" data-pin-do="buttonPin" data-pin-config="none" target="_blank"> <img src="//assets.pinterest.com/images/pidgets/pin_it_button.png" /></a> </a><div class="ClickInfo">Click Image For Related Information</div> <div class="Caption">"Who Goes There?"</div> </center> <div class="Text">18"H x 24"W Pastel on Ampersand Pastelbord. "Who Goes There?" was juried into the 59th Exhibition 2009, Florida Artist Group (FLAG), The Amory Art Center, West Palm Beach, FL. <BR<BR> This green heron is the same as the one in "Palm Perch." The abstract quality of the palm fronds falling away from the trunk of the tree, with the green heron nestled in the midst of all those fronds, is a compelling visual for me -- sufficiently compelling that I wanted to paint it again. <BR><BR> In this pastel version, I set out to utilize a greater range of values, as well as to provide a more dimensionally dynamic piece. The palm fronds display a multitude of subtle color variations, although they are basically pale in comparison to the heron, with its rich dark greens, blues, and "English" red. I used layers of cool blues for the sky to contrast with the warmer general hue of the palm frond, which then contrasts to the cool dark coloration of the heron. <BR><BR> The green heron is typically seen in this bunched up, bullet shape when it is perched. Here, he is closely watching a potential meal in the water down below him. One would never imagine what a long, skinny neck these birds have until you see one take off after a "meal."<BR><BR></div> <div class="text_line"><br></div> <center> <center><A HREF="/gh/DisplayLargeImage+Username=lindamood+ServiceName=Welcome+PIC=63+Prefix=Large" target="_blank"><font FACE="Times New Roman,Arial" size="2" color="">Enlarge Image</font></a></center><div style="font-size: 5px"><br></div> <h3 style="margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:0px; padding:0px; text-align: center;"> </h3> <A HREF="/gh/DisplayLargeImage+Username=lindamood+ServiceName=Welcome+PIC=63+Prefix=Large" target="_blank"> <IMG class="MainImg" SRC="http://pictures.ezpics.net/Photos/Art/ezpics.net/lindamood/Welcome/63.jpg?20120712_030911.848_bA90qR7D" ALT=""Double Egret" -wildlife artwork New Artwork by Patsy Lindamood, Wild Life Artist - Wild Things Artworkby Patsy Lindamood " Name="Wild Things Artwork by Patsy Lindamood " LongDesc="Wild things artwork and animal paintings in pastels, colored pencils and graphite by international artist Patsy Lindamood New Artwork by Patsy Lindamood, Wild Life Artist" BORDER="0" VSPACE="0" HSPACE="0"> <br> <a href="//pinterest.com/pin/create/button/?url=http://www.wildthingsartwork.com/gh/dynadex%2BUsername=lindamood%2BadwordsServiceName=Welcome&media=http://pictures.ezpics.net/Photos/Art/ezpics.net/lindamood/Welcome/63.jpg?20120712_030911.848_bA90qR7D&description=Double Egret" data-pin-do="buttonPin" data-pin-config="none" target="_blank"> <img src="//assets.pinterest.com/images/pidgets/pin_it_button.png" /></a> </a><div class="ClickInfo">Click Image For Related Information</div> <div class="Caption">"Double Egret"</div> </center> <div class="Text">24" x 36" Pastel on Ampersand Pastelbord.<P>This piece was exhibited in the 59th Florida Artists Group Exhibition at the Amory Art Center in West Visual Arts Center, Punta Gorda, FL,Palm Beach, 2009.

It is based on a composite of three different photos of sandhills taken at the Homossassa Springs State Park in 2007. <BR><BR> I am fascinated with sandhills. I find them to be strangely elegant.

What started out as a gorgeous, sunny Texas winter day transformed into an almost totally dreary winter day for me. But when we came across this brilliant cardinal while hiking through the woods, my day was made. I knew as I photographed him that I would feature him in a painting.

My husband and I have never been successful in siting them there. Consequently, I was thrilled to find that the Homosassa State Park has one. I was able to photograph the bird up close, through an enclosure. I particularly like this pose where the bird is looking down, apparently considering whether to stay where he was perched or to hop down to explore something on the ground below.<BR><BR> I was drawn to the deep indigo hues of this bird, and the background of his enclosure in my reference material had a dark hue to it. Strong afternoon sunlight shone through the enclosure, creating a nice contrast to the darkness behind him. I chose to use the indigo for the backdrop to push that contrast to the limit, while still relating closely to the indigo tones of the birds feathers. Attempting to depict his feathers in proper configuration, at the angle at which he perched presented a huge challenge. <BR><BR> Beyond a proper representation of the Cara Cara, I wanted to create the attitude of the bird's demeanor as I experienced it, and the kind of moodiness I sensed from him. The strong contrast lighting and the expansive use of indigo within the environment accomplish that. <BR><BR> </div> <div class="text_line"><br></div> <center> <center><A HREF="/gh/DisplayLargeImage+Username=lindamood+ServiceName=Welcome+PIC=72+Prefix=Large" target="_blank"><font FACE="Times New Roman,Arial" size="2" color="">Enlarge Image</font></a></center><div style="font-size: 5px"><br></div> <h3 style="margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:0px; padding:0px; text-align: center;"> </h3> <A HREF="/gh/DisplayLargeImage+Username=lindamood+ServiceName=Welcome+PIC=72+Prefix=Large" target="_blank"> <IMG class="MainImg" SRC="http://pictures.ezpics.net/Photos/Art/ezpics.net/lindamood/Welcome/72.jpg?20120712_030911.848_bA90qR7D" ALT=""Spoonbill Takes Flight" -wildlife artwork New Artwork by Patsy Lindamood, Wild Life Artist - Wild Things Artworkby Patsy Lindamood " Name="Wild Things Artwork by Patsy Lindamood " LongDesc="Wild things artwork and animal paintings in pastels, colored pencils and graphite by international artist Patsy Lindamood New Artwork by Patsy Lindamood, Wild Life Artist" BORDER="0" VSPACE="0" HSPACE="0"> <br> <a href="//pinterest.com/pin/create/button/?url=http://www.wildthingsartwork.com/gh/dynadex%2BUsername=lindamood%2BadwordsServiceName=Welcome&media=http://pictures.ezpics.net/Photos/Art/ezpics.net/lindamood/Welcome/72.jpg?20120712_030911.848_bA90qR7D&description=Spoonbill Takes Flight" data-pin-do="buttonPin" data-pin-config="none" target="_blank"> <img src="//assets.pinterest.com/images/pidgets/pin_it_button.png" /></a> </a><div class="ClickInfo">Click Image For Related Information</div> <div class="Caption">"Spoonbill Takes Flight"</div> </center> <div class="text_line"><br></div> <center> <center><A HREF="/gh/DisplayLargeImage+Username=lindamood+ServiceName=Welcome+PIC=73+Prefix=Large" target="_blank"><font FACE="Times New Roman,Arial" size="2" color="">Enlarge Image</font></a></center><div style="font-size: 5px"><br></div> <h3 style="margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:0px; padding:0px; text-align: center;"> </h3> <A HREF="/gh/DisplayLargeImage+Username=lindamood+ServiceName=Welcome+PIC=73+Prefix=Large" target="_blank"> <IMG class="MainImg" SRC="http://pictures.ezpics.net/Photos/Art/ezpics.net/lindamood/Welcome/73.jpg?20120712_030911.848_bA90qR7D" ALT=""Eagles Eye View" - wildlife artwork New Artwork by Patsy Lindamood, Wild Life Artist - Wild Things Artworkby Patsy Lindamood " Name="Wild Things Artwork by Patsy Lindamood " LongDesc="Wild things artwork and animal paintings in pastels, colored pencils and graphite by international artist Patsy Lindamood New Artwork by Patsy Lindamood, Wild Life Artist" BORDER="0" VSPACE="0" HSPACE="0"> <br> <a href="//pinterest.com/pin/create/button/?url=http://www.wildthingsartwork.com/gh/dynadex%2BUsername=lindamood%2BadwordsServiceName=Welcome&media=http://pictures.ezpics.net/Photos/Art/ezpics.net/lindamood/Welcome/73.jpg?20120712_030911.848_bA90qR7D&description=Eagle's Eye View" data-pin-do="buttonPin" data-pin-config="none" target="_blank"> <img src="//assets.pinterest.com/images/pidgets/pin_it_button.png" /></a> </a><div class="ClickInfo">Click Image For Related Information</div> <div class="Caption">"Eagle's Eye View"</div> </center> <div class="Text">18"H x 22.5"W Colored Pencil and Water Soluble Wax Pastel on Ampersand Pastelbord."Eagle's Eye View" was juried into the 2008 7th Annual International Open Exhibition of the UK Coloured Pencil Society, Royal West of England Gallery, Clifton, Bristol, Great Britain. <BR><BR> This piece was one of the first in which I used the aqueous capabilities of water color pencils and the Neocolor II crayons, and relatively new product by Derwent called InkTense pencils. This piece is one of the rare instances in which I set out to do a pastel painting, which I scrapped in favor of color pencil. I just could not create the crispness of the feathering on the eagle's head with the pastel I was using at the time. (Interestingly, about a year later, I have now done a bald eagle in pastel.) My subject for this piece was photographed at the Jacksonville Zoo, and I had a few reference photos with good close-ups of his head. I really liked the over- the-should point of view.

They sit together in groups of three or four on this wire that runs across part of the aviary space. Even as I was viewing them at the zoo, they reminded me of a little ceramic piece my mother had made when I was a child. It featured three chimpanzees sitting in a row, illustrating the old axiom about "hear no evil, see no evil, speak no evil." <BR><BR> The artistic challenge for this piece was to portray the dimensionality of these birds against the walled backdrop without flattening them out. I loved the monochromatic palette that the scene presented to me, and pushed it to the limit in this painting. The birds were painted first with layers and layers of colored pencil, then built up further with layers of Neocolor II crayons. Then, I applied the crayons directly to the mylar to develop the wall. I used a marbled surface mounting board, took advantage of the translusency of the mylar, and then built upon the marbling that showed through to create the wall by rubbing crayon into the surface. I actually molded it with my fingers on the mylar. <BR><BR> This piece holds special meaning for me, as it was my first acceptance into a juried exhibition, and my first exhibition award. Having only been painting for a few years at the time, this acceptance and award created a turning point for me. I made a decision to pursue art professionally. I have to laugh in retrospect, however. Now, I can't imagine a life without painting now!!! </div> <div class="text_line"><br></div> <center> <center><A HREF="/gh/DisplayLargeImage+Username=lindamood+ServiceName=Welcome+PIC=75+Prefix=Large" target="_blank"><font FACE="Times New Roman,Arial" size="2" color="">Enlarge Image</font></a></center><div style="font-size: 5px"><br></div> <h3 style="margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:0px; padding:0px; text-align: center;"> </h3> <A HREF="/gh/DisplayLargeImage+Username=lindamood+ServiceName=Welcome+PIC=75+Prefix=Large" target="_blank"> <IMG class="MainImg" SRC="http://pictures.ezpics.net/Photos/Art/ezpics.net/lindamood/Welcome/75.jpg?20120712_030911.848_bA90qR7D" ALT=""Peacocks Pride" - wildlife artwork New Artwork by Patsy Lindamood, Wild Life Artist - Wild Things Artworkby Patsy Lindamood " Name="Wild Things Artwork by Patsy Lindamood " LongDesc="Wild things artwork and animal paintings in pastels, colored pencils and graphite by international artist Patsy Lindamood New Artwork by Patsy Lindamood, Wild Life Artist" BORDER="0" VSPACE="0" HSPACE="0"> <br> <a href="//pinterest.com/pin/create/button/?url=http://www.wildthingsartwork.com/gh/dynadex%2BUsername=lindamood%2BadwordsServiceName=Welcome&media=http://pictures.ezpics.net/Photos/Art/ezpics.net/lindamood/Welcome/75.jpg?20120712_030911.848_bA90qR7D&description=Peacock's Pride" data-pin-do="buttonPin" data-pin-config="none" target="_blank"> <img src="//assets.pinterest.com/images/pidgets/pin_it_button.png" /></a> </a><div class="ClickInfo">Click Image For Related Information</div> <div class="Caption">"Peacock's Pride"</div> </center> <div class="Text">24" H x 36" W Pastel on Ampersand Pastelbord. <BR><BR> Since I only began painting in 2006, after dabbling with graphite drawings and then colored pencil drawings for a few years, I have tried to take advantage of workshops offered by professionals whose work I admire as a means to train myself. Many times, my husband will go with me. We will take our little camper and turn the workshop into an adventure. <BR><BR> When I studied with Alan Flattmann in June 2008, in Shreveport, LA, we stayed in a privately operated campground nearby that had access to a lake and a fair abundance of bird life. It also features a little on-site zoo! They have some peacock there who just won't stay in the enclosed area. Instead, they prance around the area near the entrance to the camp, and the male loves to spread his feathers for everyone's pleasure.<br><BR> I wanted to paint him, but I needed a different, more interesting way to portray him than a bird in a field. I decided to use one of the closeup shots in tight crop to create something more like an abstract painting than a typical wildlife art piece. Anyway, I'm sucker for blues and greens anyway! <BR><BR> </div> <div class="text_line"><br></div> <center> <center><A HREF="/gh/DisplayLargeImage+Username=lindamood+ServiceName=Welcome+PIC=76+Prefix=Large" target="_blank"><font FACE="Times New Roman,Arial" size="2" color="">Enlarge Image</font></a></center><div style="font-size: 5px"><br></div> <h3 style="margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:0px; padding:0px; text-align: center;"> </h3> <A HREF="http://You Can Lead a Horse to Water" TITLE="Wild Things Artwork by Patsy Lindamood" NAME="Wild things artwork and animal paintings in pastels, colored pencils and graphite by international artist Patsy Lindamood" Target="_self"> <IMG class="MainImg" SRC="http://pictures.ezpics.net/Photos/Art/ezpics.net/lindamood/Welcome/76.jpg?20120712_030911.848_bA90qR7D" ALT=""You Can Lead a Horse to Water" -wildlife artwork New Artwork by Patsy Lindamood, Wild Life Artist - Wild Things Artworkby Patsy Lindamood " Name="Wild Things Artwork by Patsy Lindamood " LongDesc="Wild things artwork and animal paintings in pastels, colored pencils and graphite by international artist Patsy Lindamood New Artwork by Patsy Lindamood, Wild Life Artist" BORDER="0" VSPACE="0" HSPACE="0"> <br> <a href="//pinterest.com/pin/create/button/?url=http://www.wildthingsartwork.com/gh/dynadex%2BUsername=lindamood%2BadwordsServiceName=Welcome&media=http://pictures.ezpics.net/Photos/Art/ezpics.net/lindamood/Welcome/76.jpg?20120712_030911.848_bA90qR7D&description=You Can Lead a Horse to Water" data-pin-do="buttonPin" data-pin-config="none" target="_blank"> <img src="//assets.pinterest.com/images/pidgets/pin_it_button.png" /></a> </a><div class="ClickInfo">Click Image For Related Information</div> <div class="Caption">"You Can Lead a Horse to Water"</div> </center> <div class="Text">"You Can Lead a Horse to Water," an 18" x 24" pastel on Ampersand Pastelbord, is my first foray into equine painting.

Our Florida panthers are the last surviving members of this magnificent breed of large cats now primarily limited to ranges in the far western states of the U.S.<BR><BR> Triple D affords photographers and artists a unique opportunity to experience these animals up close and personal. I could watch these cats for hours as they move up and around a rock group that catches the early morning sun. Muscles ripple just below their smooth coats, and their eyes (viewed safely through a long telephoto lens!) are just mesmerizing. What captivated me about this particular pose is the sense of imminent movement, the tension in his shoulder as he steps forward to explore what lies on the rock just ahead of him, and the bright light striking the side of his massive ovoid head. <BR><BR> I think that I must have been fixated on "v" patterns for a while, too. "Panther on the Prowl," like Bear Walk @ Avalanche," is filled with powerful "v" patterns.

I feel that the experience with the subject is a key ingredient for the creation of a successful portrait. <BR><BR> "Pond Inspection" is unusual in that it is based on one of the photos I took when preparing to do a portrait of Missy (see "Listening for Master's Cue") that wasn't really appropriate for a "portrait" piece but that nevertheless contained lots of interesting elements. I loved Missy's tense stance on the edge of the pond and the intensity with which she was watching a frog moving through the pond. I also found the reflections in the pond quite interesting - and a challenge to depict in an interesting and effective way. <BR><BR></div> <div class="text_line"><br></div> <center> <center><A HREF="/gh/DisplayLargeImage+Username=lindamood+ServiceName=Welcome+PIC=86+Prefix=Large" target="_blank"><font FACE="Times New Roman,Arial" size="2" color="">Enlarge Image</font></a></center><div style="font-size: 5px"><br></div> <h3 style="margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:0px; padding:0px; text-align: center;"> </h3> <A HREF="/gh/DisplayLargeImage+Username=lindamood+ServiceName=Welcome+PIC=86+Prefix=Large" target="_blank"> <IMG class="MainImg" SRC="http://pictures.ezpics.net/Photos/Art/ezpics.net/lindamood/Welcome/86.jpg?20120712_030911.848_bA90qR7D" ALT="Listening for Master's Cue" -wildlife artwork New Artwork by Patsy Lindamood, Wild Life Artist - Wild Things Artworkby Patsy Lindamood " Name="Wild Things Artwork by Patsy Lindamood " LongDesc="Wild things artwork and animal paintings in pastels, colored pencils and graphite by international artist Patsy Lindamood New Artwork by Patsy Lindamood, Wild Life Artist" BORDER="0" VSPACE="0" HSPACE="0"> <br> <a href="//pinterest.com/pin/create/button/?url=http://www.wildthingsartwork.com/gh/dynadex%2BUsername=lindamood%2BadwordsServiceName=Welcome&media=http://pictures.ezpics.net/Photos/Art/ezpics.net/lindamood/Welcome/86.jpg?20120712_030911.848_bA90qR7D&description=Listening for Master's Cue" data-pin-do="buttonPin" data-pin-config="none" target="_blank"> <img src="//assets.pinterest.com/images/pidgets/pin_it_button.png" /></a> </a><div class="ClickInfo">Click Image For Related Information</div> <div class="Caption">Listening for Master's Cue"</div> </center> <div class="Text">"Listening for Master's Cue" is a commissioned portrait completed December 2008.

Half an hour of photography seemed like five minutes. As is so typical, one of the last photos I took of her became the basis for the portrait. She was clearly comfortable playing the game with the stuffed ball, and the lighting pouring into the family room onto this brightly colored carpet, with the white cabinetry behind her, is just lovely. All manner of local color bounced off the white wood and Missy's white coat. I pushed that local color in all the reflected light to the limit to create energy in the painting. The energy of the colors and the lighting, together with the alert posture of Missy's head, give the entire piece vitality. </div> <div class="text_line"><br></div> <center> <center><A HREF="/gh/DisplayLargeImage+Username=lindamood+ServiceName=Welcome+PIC=87+Prefix=Large" target="_blank"><font FACE="Times New Roman,Arial" size="2" color="">Enlarge Image</font></a></center><div style="font-size: 5px"><br></div> <h3 style="margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:0px; padding:0px; text-align: center;"> </h3> <A HREF="/gh/DisplayLargeImage+Username=lindamood+ServiceName=Welcome+PIC=87+Prefix=Large" target="_blank"> <IMG class="MainImg" SRC="http://pictures.ezpics.net/Photos/Art/ezpics.net/lindamood/Welcome/87.jpg?20120712_030911.848_bA90qR7D" ALT=""Deanna" -wildlife artwork New Artwork by Patsy Lindamood, Wild Life Artist - Wild Things Artworkby Patsy Lindamood " Name="Wild Things Artwork by Patsy Lindamood " LongDesc="Wild things artwork and animal paintings in pastels, colored pencils and graphite by international artist Patsy Lindamood New Artwork by Patsy Lindamood, Wild Life Artist" BORDER="0" VSPACE="0" HSPACE="0"> <br> <a href="//pinterest.com/pin/create/button/?url=http://www.wildthingsartwork.com/gh/dynadex%2BUsername=lindamood%2BadwordsServiceName=Welcome&media=http://pictures.ezpics.net/Photos/Art/ezpics.net/lindamood/Welcome/87.jpg?20120712_030911.848_bA90qR7D&description=Deanna" data-pin-do="buttonPin" data-pin-config="none" target="_blank"> <img src="//assets.pinterest.com/images/pidgets/pin_it_button.png" /></a> </a><div class="ClickInfo">Click Image For Related Information</div> <div class="Caption">"Deanna"</div> </center> <div class="Text">Meet Deanna - newly completed 12" x 24" pastel on Ampersand Pastelbord. <BR><BR> The portrait was commissioned as a Christmas gift.

We took her out on the green at a local development. We got her to run and play for some 20 minutes or so while I took a couple of hundred shots of her. When knew she was wearing out when she finally lay down, near her sock throw toy to take a breather. By that time, the October sun was low in the afternoon sky, casting gold and orange hues across the green. Lilly is a mix of chow and yellow lab, which gives her some striking physical characteristics - not the least of which is a smooth coat with orange and gold tones to it and russet-colored ears, nose and tail. When she suddenly pulled up her head to look across the green at something she heard or saw on the road behind us, the sun drenched her coat and Lilly seemed to glow in its warmth. We concluded the photoshoot after snapping just a few more frames. <BR><BR> We had lots of great action shots and other "Lilly on Alert" types of poses to choose from, but in the end we decided to base the portrait on one of the last few frames taken so that I could use that dramatic lighting. We also decided I would work in colored pencil on mylar to help capture that smoothness of Lilly's coat. I took advantage of the the three-quarter turn of her head, the strong contrast of light between her left and right sides, and the strong color of the green itself to accentuate Lilly's distinctive features. Not only was the client pleased, but this piece has been accepted into several different juried exhibitions as well. <BR><BR></div> <div class="text_line"><br></div> <center> <h3 style="margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:0px; padding:0px; text-align: center;"> </h3> <IMG class="MainImg" SRC="http://pictures.ezpics.net/Photos/Art/ezpics.net/lindamood/Welcome/90.jpg?20120712_030911.848_bA90qR7D" ALT=""Hunting Shark's Teeth" -wildlife artwork New Artwork by Patsy Lindamood, Wild Life Artist - Wild Things Artworkby Patsy Lindamood " Name="Wild Things Artwork by Patsy Lindamood " LongDesc="Wild things artwork and animal paintings in pastels, colored pencils and graphite by international artist Patsy Lindamood New Artwork by Patsy Lindamood, Wild Life Artist" BORDER="0" VSPACE="0" HSPACE="0"> <br> <a href="//pinterest.com/pin/create/button/?url=http://www.wildthingsartwork.com/gh/dynadex%2BUsername=lindamood%2BadwordsServiceName=Welcome&media=http://pictures.ezpics.net/Photos/Art/ezpics.net/lindamood/Welcome/90.jpg?20120712_030911.848_bA90qR7D&description=Hunting Shark's Teeth" data-pin-do="buttonPin" data-pin-config="none" target="_blank"> <img src="//assets.pinterest.com/images/pidgets/pin_it_button.png" /></a> <div class="Caption">"Hunting Shark's Teeth"</div> </center> <div class="Text">"Hunting for Sharks' Teeth" is an 18" x 24" pastel on Ampersand Pastelbord. <BR><BR> My husband and I camped at Hunting Island State Park in South Carolina in November 2007. We were there so that I could attend a pastel portraiture workshop with Wende Caporale on Hilton Head Island. We stayed at the park when the workshop ended so that I could have a chance to explore the beach and the rest of the park. <BR><BR> Ray had been hunting sharks' teeth all week, while I was attending the workshop, and he couldn't resist one more search. I was more interested in photographing the birds and dogs on the beach, so I walked on while Ray moved slowly down the beach, focused on the ground at his feet. I turned back to see where he was and snapped a shot of him retrieving one of his treasures from the sand. <BR><BR> I remember how the blue water in the foreground seemed to merge into the blue sky in the background as I looked back at Ray. I am strongly attracted to the color blue, so I jumped on the opportunity to develop a piece that is so predominantly "blue."

Driving along with a photographer friend from Colorado and my husband, I looked out to my left across this eerily blue and misty scene. I called out "stop, stop, stop, I've got to capture this"! I knew while taking pictures that I would paint this scene, it made such a profound impression on me. <BR><BR> Back in the studio, I sought to recreate the sense of straining to see distant mountains through hazy mist that I felt that day. The temperature was cool, the air was damp, and there was a pervasive blue cast to the entire landscape. My other objective with this piece was to portray a sense of depth and vista. Despite the mist, it was still possible to sight a considerable distance through this gap in the mountains, and when I looked upwards, despite the mountains crowding my view, the gi-normous vista ahead gave me a sense of vast, unobstructed skies. </div> <div class="text_line"><br></div> <center> <center><A HREF="/gh/DisplayLargeImage+Username=lindamood+ServiceName=Welcome+PIC=94+Prefix=Large" target="_blank"><font FACE="Times New Roman,Arial" size="2" color="">Enlarge Image</font></a></center><div style="font-size: 5px"><br></div> <h3 style="margin-top:0px;

I jumped at the chance to paint Sarah, as I found her smile to be absolutely delightful and the unusual overhead partial lighting was quite striking. Originally, I was going to omit that "highlighting" from the portrait, but as I worked I decided that the light actually works in the painting.<BR><BR> Sarah's smile seems to emanate from within her. I told her Dad that she looked as if she were absolutely pleased to be who she is. I've never met Sarah personally, but her Dad told me that was an apt analysis. That smile just glows. . . Sarah glows. It's almost as if she were emitting a light of her own, as light from above shines down on her. <BR><BR> Working in "black and white" could provide a dramatic strategy for focusing on this play of light, but I decided that a more subtle approach, using a monochromatic pastel palette of greys, would yield a more compelling and more natural portrait of Sarah. </div> <div class="text_line"><br></div> <center> <h3 style="margin-top:0px;

I completed this piece over a long weekend at a colored pencil society retreat. First of all, my pastel buddies were astounded I could more or less complete anything with colored pencil in a single weekend. (This is sort of an insider thing that probably only a CP artist or someone who hangs out with one would understand. It is generally a s - l - o - w medium to work in.)<BR><BR> Secondly, I learned quite a bit about both my mediums and this Pastelbord in the process of doing the piece. The colored pencil and the Neocolor II crayons have a tendency to evaporate off the board overnight if they are not fixed. I learned on later piece ("Tern Talk") that using the water color pencils rather than the traditional pencils adheres better, and using some water to fix the medium into the panel works even better. And then using fixative!!!<BR><BR> The little Green Heron is one of my favorite water birds, and I'm sure I will paint many more green herons in the coming years. But I really, really liked the palmetto in which this bird was perched. The abstract patterns of the fronds behind and around him create an interesting tension with the bird. This particular painting, however, is not a success in my opinion because this green heron just doesn't have the dimensionality that is a trademark of most of my wildlife work. Check out "Who Goes There" which is a pastel version of this same bird in this same palmetto. I prefer the value range, the coloration, and the dimensionality of the pastel version.

"Hippo Hello" was exhibited at the Annmarie Garden Sculpture Park & Arts Center, Solomons, MD, as part of the 2009 Wild Things National Juried Exhibition. <BR><BR> I find the hippo to be an awesome product of nature, nimble and speedy in its natural habitat, and one of the most ferocious killers of Africa. In Florida, we are fortunate to have one at Homosassa Springs State Park. I had to keep returning to his compound to catch him up out of the water, and I was most fortunate to be in the right place at the right time to get about three shots of him surging up out of the water with his mouth wide open. That was exactly the behavior I had wanted to observe. To me, he looked like he was jumping up to say "hello!" <BR><BR> Turns out that painting that awesome mouth wide open is a real challenge. Trying to depict the color and texture of his hide turned out to be even more of a challenge. When I got to the splash of the water, I thought I just might be done in with the challenges of this piece, until I found after a little experimentation that Sennelier makes a couple of whites and pale blues that are almost white that could be dotted against the underpainting on the panel to leave crumbs of pastel that literally stand up on the surface. Thanks to my Ampersand Pastelbord surface, they stayed there, too! Of course, some fixative helped to keep them there. Once the painting was completed, I loved the effect, but worried that the spackling would never survive framing and then shipping. Miraculously, it has.

I photographed them at the Houston Zoo a few years ago, when "Meerkat Manor" was running on Animal Planet. I originally intended to do a couple of pieces with meerkats standing on lookout atop their burrows, but when I went digging through my shots, I just found this trio, all leaning together peering upward, irresitable. This entire piece was completed in about eight hours. I purposely set out to do a rather loose, more impressionistic piece, with those eyes as the focal point. I generally lay in my darkest darks for a painting with a Faber Castell indigo. I started with those eyes and the rest of the piece "painted" itself a backdrop to them.<BR><BR> </div> <div class="text_line"><br></div> <center> <center><A HREF="/gh/DisplayLargeImage+Username=lindamood+ServiceName=Welcome+PIC=137+Prefix=Large" target="_blank"><font FACE="Times New Roman,Arial" size="2" color="">Enlarge Image</font></a></center><div style="font-size: 5px"><br></div> <h3 style="margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:0px; padding:0px; text-align: center;"> </h3> <A HREF="/gh/DisplayLargeImage+Username=lindamood+ServiceName=Welcome+PIC=137+Prefix=Large" target="_blank"> <IMG class="MainImg" SRC="http://pictures.ezpics.net/Photos/Art/ezpics.net/lindamood/Welcome/137.jpg?20120712_030911.848_bA90qR7D" ALT=""Masked Prowler" -wildlife artwork New Artwork by Patsy Lindamood, Wild Life Artist - Wild Things Artworkby Patsy Lindamood " Name="Wild Things Artwork by Patsy Lindamood " LongDesc="Wild things artwork and animal paintings in pastels, colored pencils and graphite by international artist Patsy Lindamood New Artwork by Patsy Lindamood, Wild Life Artist" BORDER="0" VSPACE="0" HSPACE="0"> <br> <a href="//pinterest.com/pin/create/button/?url=http://www.wildthingsartwork.com/gh/dynadex%2BUsername=lindamood%2BadwordsServiceName=Welcome&media=http://pictures.ezpics.net/Photos/Art/ezpics.net/lindamood/Welcome/137.jpg?20120712_030911.848_bA90qR7D&description=Masked Prowler" data-pin-do="buttonPin" data-pin-config="none" target="_blank"> <img src="//assets.pinterest.com/images/pidgets/pin_it_button.png" /></a> </a><div class="ClickInfo">Click Image For Related Information</div> <div class="Caption">"Masked Prowler"</div> </center> <div class="Text">15"H x 24"W Colored Pencil and Water Soluble Wax Pastel on Ampersand Pastelbord. This piece has been juried into several exhibitions, including the UK Coloured Pencil Society's 7th Annual International Open Exhibition at the Royal West of England Gallery, Clifton, Bristol, Great Britain, and most recently the Red River Valley International Juried Art Exhibition 2009, Red River Valley Museum, Vernon, TX, where it was given a Judge's Award of Merit. <BR><BR> This was my second attempt to work on the Ampersand Pastelbord in colored pencil media. I struggled with the work to get the pencil and the Neocolor II crayons to do what I wanted them to do. I will be honest in that the final result did not quite meet my expectations for the work, yet I still managed to execute a painting that is strong enough to have been juried into several exhibitions and to take a couple of awards. <BR><BR> The composition in this piece is one of its strengths. John Seerey-Lester taught me some things about composition that I might have taken years to discover on my own. I purposely placed the racoon's head up into the right hand corner to increase the illusion of the racoon's crouch in the water. My subject was photographed at Triple D Game Farm, Kalispell, MT. The markings on these guys, and the way they scramble through fields and up trees just cracks me up. I love to spot them when we are out camping, but I can never seem to catch them in camp when I have enough light to shoot them. I have great references from Triple D, however, and I plan to do more works featuring them. I am almost certain, though, that the next racoon painting will be done in pastel! </div> <div class="text_line"><br></div> </table> </FONT> <BR> <center> <div class="Footer"> Patsy Lindamood - (352) 339-2353 <a href="http://www.wildthingsartwork.com" style="text-decoration: none" target="_top"><div class="Footer">http://www.wildthingsartwork.com</div></a> <a href="mailto:lindamood@att.net?subject=From http://www.wildthingsartwork.com" style="text-decoration: none"><div class="Footer">lindamood@att.net</div></a> All Rights Reserved.<br> </div> <table width="850px" align="center"><tr><td> <center><div style="font-size:10px"> <B>Page Relevance:</B> wildlife artwork, wildlife paintings <br> <B>Site Relevance:</B> Wild Things Artwork , animal paintings, Wild animals, wild things, Art, artist, pictures, pastels, drawings, </div> </font> </table> </center> </td> <td width="210" valign="top" background="http://" bgcolor="#000000"><center><font color=#FFFFCC> <div class="MenuText"> Wild Things Artwork<br> <A HREF="http://ww4.ezpics.net/gh/access+Username=lindamood" TARGET="_top"> <img src="http://pictures.ezpics.net/Photos/Art/ezpics.net/lindamood/BackgroundsLogos/2.jpg" border="0"></a> (352) 339-2353 </div><br><br> <div class="MenuButton"><A HREF="http://www.wildthingsartwork.com" Target="_top"> <font color=#000000><img src="http://ww4.ezpics.net/button/jagged_new+noshadow=+bg=%23FFFFFF+label=Home+font=Papyrus+size=13+color=%23000000" Alt="Home Patsy Lindamood" Border=0></font></A></div> <div class="MenuButton"> <A HREF="http://www.wildthingsartwork.com/lindamood/Bio/go" TARGET="display"> <font color=#000000><img src="http://ww4.ezpics.net/button/jagged_new+noshadow=+bg=%23FFFFFF+label=The%20Artist+font=Papyrus+size=13+color=%23000000" Alt="The Artist Patsy Lindamood" Border=0></font></A></div> <div class="MenuButton"> <A HREF="http://www.wildthingsartwork.com/lindamood/Art_Index/go" TARGET="display"> <font color=#000000><img src="http://ww4.ezpics.net/button/jagged_new+noshadow=+bg=%23FFFFFF+label=The%20Art+font=Papyrus+size=13+color=%23000000" Alt="The Art Patsy Lindamood" Border=0></font></A></div> <div class="MenuButton"> <A HREF="http://www.wildthingsartwork.com/lindamood/People/go" TARGET="display"> <font color=#000000><img src="http://ww4.ezpics.net/button/jagged_new+noshadow=+bg=%23FFFFFF+label=People%20Portraits+font=Papyrus+size=13+color=%23000000" Alt="People Portraits Patsy Lindamood" Border=0></font></A></div> <div class="MenuButton"> <A HREF="http://www.wildthingsartwork.com/lindamood/Canine/go" TARGET="display"> <font color=#000000><img src="http://ww4.ezpics.net/button/jagged_new+noshadow=+bg=%23FFFFFF+label=Pet%20Portraits+font=Papyrus+size=13+color=%23000000" Alt="Pet Portraits Patsy Lindamood" Border=0></font></A></div> <div class="MenuButton"> <A HREF="http://www.wildthingsartwork.com/lindamood/Commissions/go" TARGET="display"> <font color=#000000><img src="http://ww4.ezpics.net/button/jagged_new+noshadow=+bg=%23FFFFFF+label=Commissions+font=Papyrus+size=13+color=%23000000" Alt="Commissions Patsy Lindamood" Border=0></font></A></div> <div class="MenuButton"> <A HREF="http://www.wildthingsartwork.com/lindamood/Resume/go" TARGET="display"> <font color=#000000><img src="http://ww4.ezpics.net/button/jagged_new+noshadow=+bg=%23FFFFFF+label=Resume+font=Papyrus+size=13+color=%23000000" Alt="Resume Patsy Lindamood" Border=0></font></A></div> <div class="MenuButton"> <A HREF="http://www.wildthingsartwork.com/lindamood/News/go" TARGET="display"> <font color=#000000><img src="http://ww4.ezpics.net/button/jagged_new+noshadow=+bg=%23FFFFFF+label=Awards+font=Papyrus+size=13+color=%23000000" Alt="Awards Patsy Lindamood" Border=0></font></A></div> <div class="MenuButton"><A HREF="http://www.wildthingsartwork.com/gh/GenericContact+Username=lindamood" Target="display"> <font color=#000000><img src="http://ww4.ezpics.net/button/jagged_new+noshadow=+bg=%23FFFFFF+label=Contact+font=Papyrus+size=13+color=%23000000" Alt="Contact Patsy Lindamood" Border=0></font></A></div> <br><div class="MenuText"><font size="2">We Accept Credit Cards</font></div><br> <center class="semembersmenu"> <a class="semembersmenu" href="http://www.wildthingsartwork.com/sitemap.xml" target="_blank">Sitemap </a> Updated<br>Mon Feb 4 07:11:04 2013<br> <a class="semembersmenu" href="http://www.EzPics.com" target="_top">www.EzPics.com</a> <br>Wild Things Artwork </center> </font></center></td></tr> </table> <BR><BR><center>Wild Things Artwork<br>Patsy Lindamood<br>4732 NW 31st Terrace<br>Gainesville<br> FL 32605 USA<br> (352) 339-2353<br><a href="mailto:lindamood@att.net">lindamood@att.net</a></center><br><br> <table width="100%" align="right"><TR><TD> <BR><BR><a href="http://www.wildthingsartwork.com/lindamood/Bio/go" target="_top"><LI><B> Patsy Lindamood -
