SUBMISSION: Brazos Bend Gator by Patsy Lindamood

ENDANGERED: Fine Art & Photography Contest 2020 Submission

Lindamood’s compulsion to draw is about capturing the visual beauty she sees in the world around her. She is drawn to the plethora of mathematically based patterns found in nature, such a spots on a jaguar or the feathers of pelican. Streetscapes abound in lines and shapes. And, rodeo scenes abound with all manner of shapes, patterns and the drama of the test of wills between man and animal.

A well-established pastel artist, Patsy Lindamood knows how to create works of art which burst with color and vibrancy. But a few years ago, she felt compelled to return to working in graphite as means to focus on shapes and values. For her graphite works, she selects subject matter with a strong range of values from darkest dark to lightest light. This range of values affords her the opportunity to create drama and visual intensity.

SUBMISSION: Vanishing - Polar Bears by Dennis Linn

ENDANGERED: Fine Art & Photography Contest 2020 Submission

All of my life I have had deep connections to wild and endangered animals. As the decades passed those connections strengthened it became apparent to me that preserving wildlife was in the marrow of my bones. is large acrylic painting shows endangered polar bears vanishing. The greatest success story is that the tools we have at our disposal to protect our environment and wildlife are actually working! Conservation projects can help bring species back. Given the immense challenges ahead with overall biodiversity at threat due to climate change land use changes and pollution as well as cases of extreme poaching of iconic species we need to pursue ambitious conservation projects to keep our planet intact for future generations. I want my art to educate others as to what we stand to lose and encourage a more focused planet on the preservation of endangered wildlife both on land and in the oceans.

SUBMISSION: The Dream Of The Uwohali by Kathy Copsey

ENDANGERED: Fine Art & Photography Contest 2020 Submission

Known as the "Uwohali" in Cherokee the Eagle is considered a very sacred bird in Native American culture. The Eagle flies higher than any other bird and is believed to live both in the physical and spiritual worlds and therefore be ultimately close to the Creator. They are considered to be a very powerful animal totem helping us to learn to look at very fine details to see life with a broader perspective. This was something I wanted to represent in my piece creating an ultimate amount of fine details match the striking pose of this eagle by layering two different textures to create the details of the eagle's feathers eye and beak but it is not until you stand back and look at the picture as a whole that you have the broader perspective. This perspective is something we should all strive to see from working through the fine details required to reach the broad span of our dreams to being able to see things from others' perspectives helping us all learn to learn and understand one each other and create the best outcome possible in all ways of life.
