A "bank" holiday, shut indoors by inclement weather, Patsy spent her day, on a whim, attempting a color pencil rendition of the howling wolf screensaver that frequently cycled up on her laptop. An artist was "born" that day.<BR><BR> Patsy works primarily in traditional soft pastels, in color pencil with water soluble wax pastels, and in graphite, finding that she can readily control these dry media to render highly detailed compositions. Currently, she executes both her pastel pieces and her color pencil/water soluble wax pastel pieces on Ampersand Pastelbords. She prefers to work "large," with most pieces measuring 18" x 24" or larger, although recently she has launched a series of small works averaging 9" x 11" which feature small creaturesa at or larger than life-size -- butterflies, toads, dragonflies, small birds, squirrels, and iguanas. <BR><BR> </div> <BR CLEAR=ALL> <TABLE BORDER="0" ALIGN="RIGHT" CELLSPACING="0" CELLPADDING="0"> <tr><td align="center" width="340"> <div class="ClickInfo"><center><A class="ClickInfo" HREF="/gh/DisplayLargeImage+Username=lindamood+ServiceName=Bio+PIC=4+Prefix=Large" target="_blank"><font FACE=",Arial" size="2" color="#FFFFCC">Enlarge Image</font></a></center></div> <table><TR><TD> <A HREF="/gh/DisplayLargeImage+Username=lindamood+ServiceName=Bio+PIC=4+Prefix=Large" target="_blank"> <IMG class="MainImg" SRC="http://pictures.ezpics.net/Photos/Art/ezpics.net/lindamood/Bio/4.jpg?07306fVTW6lOC57" ALT="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 " BORDER="0" VSPACE="0" HSPACE="0"></a></TR></TD></table> </td></tr> </table> <font size="1"><BR CLEAR=LEFT></font> <div class="Text">The self-taught artist has produced a large body of wildlife art over the last four years with an emering personal style marked by strong, colorful, yet infinitely detailed compositions.

While her style is clearly a realistic, prepresentational one (for which she was juried into The International Guild of Realism in 2008), her aim in each painting is to portray her subject's particular sense of self.
