Wild Things Artwork
by Patsy Lindamood

This little 7" H x 10" W colored pencil on Ampersand Pastelbord piece was created for the Society of Animal Artists Small Works - Big Impressions exhibition at The Wildlife Experience, Parker, CO, opening Nov 7, 2009, and continuing through Jan 3, 2010.

My husband and I visited the Cockrell Butterfly Center in Houston, TX, with friends over the Labor Day weekend, 2008. Of course, our goal for the day was to photograph butterflies, but who could ignore this fantastic reptile? I'm not a real fan of reptiles, but this creature has incredible texture and commands attention.
