Texas-based graphite artist Patsy Lindamood expertly captures the perspectives and architectural elements of the buildings and city scenes she depicts. For instance, take a look at her drawing Shadow Play,which illustrates a bottom-up view of a fire escape on a brick building. A signature member of the International Guild of Realism, American Artists Professional League, Allied Artists of America, American Plains Artists, Artists for Conservation and Society of Animal Artists, Lindamood’s drawings have garnered her numerous awards and have been juried into exhibitions across the United States and Canada.

While the artist has an extensive oeuvre in wildlife art, Lindamood’s focus has evolved in recent years to a passion for various subjects—everything from streetscapes and apartment buildings to grain silos and abandoned homesteads to courthouses and cathedrals.
“When the visual language is reduced to lines, shapes and values, the underlying story becomes more poignant, more arresting,” says Lindamood. “Absent the romance of color, working in shades of gray is like telling a short story versus writing a novel. I strive for my graphite art to evoke story and emotion, to resonate with both recollection and recognition. My work is representational but not photorealistic. The maker’s mark is evident in my work, but the overall impact is more that of a painting than a drawing. My work is not about visual perfection. It is about visual perception.” —
