Texas Artist Lindy Cook Severns grew up drawing animals while sprawled on the floor, studying photos in magazines and encyclopedias as references.These days, Lindy's models are her neighbors: West Texas wildlife and intriguing critters, of all kinds.
*A purist when it comes to drawing animals and figures. Lindy uses her own photographs or works from life. She draws without using a grid or projecting and tracing the images. "If accurate anatomy is an artist's ultimate goal, projecting or tracing a photo is a very useful tool. But it's a tool I don't use. When I draw, I'm creating a magical connection linking eyes, hands and brain. While I try to recreate what I see as accurately as possible, it's the journey, capturing the emotional energy of a subject through the process of drawing that matters most to me." Lindy's critter drawings are generally done as vignettes, elegantly rendered in colored pencil, watercolor, graphite or pen and ink on a clean, undeveloped background. Paintings are wildlife portraits of animals as they appear in nature, part of the landscape of the Texas artist.
