Forest Has Eyes

Edition 2824/8544 Size 39″x22″ Sold

In The Forest Has Eyes, Bev Doolittle wants the viewer to share the emotions of the rider, and as he does, because his life depends on it, ‘read’ the story in the leaves, branches, water and stone that surround him. At first glance, The Forest Has Eyes might appear to be a trick painting, but Bev Doolittle’s works must be looked at again and again, for they convey more than one message. Here we read the story of a mountain man, not easily frightened but respectful of the ways of the Indians. Passing through Indian territory, he is wary. He is also alone and alone for too long. That is when his imagination takes over, creating images and persuading us that they might be real. Our eyes play tricks. Does the forest have eyes?

Doubled Back

Edition 14280/15000 Size 34″x21″

Bev Doolittle discusses the story behind her Fine Art Print, Doubled Back How long has it been since the grizzly bear was standing right here…where is he now? Look closely at the those tracks. The snow is crisp and clean and the edges haven’t begun to melt yet. These grizzly tracks are fresh. How far ahead is he? Not far at all.

Prayer for the Wild Things

Edition 39766/65000 Size 21″x28″ Sold

A lone Indian stands atop a mountain to be closer to the Creator, while the spirits he prays for take shape beneath him. Bev’s challenge to you is not only to honor the wild things, but to find them in her virtuoso display of design skill and artistic technique. There are 26 species in the image, represented by an even greater number of animals and birds that move, flow, and fly amidst the beautifully rendered landscape. Can you find the owl peeking out from the tree’s branches, or the grizzly bear in its roots? Do you see the eagles swirling amidst the snow?

Season of the Eagle

Bev Doolittle explains the story behind her Fine Art Print, Season of the Eagle. In a remote valley where winter lingers into summer, the Great Spirit sends messages of fair weather and good hunting on the wings of a mountain on the flight of a lake. This is the Season of the Eagle.

Music in the Wind

Edition 32050/43500 Size 36″x10″

Bev Doolittle discusses the inspiration behind her Fine Art Print Music In The Wind: Nature provides a chorus of lively sounds to both inspire and lift the human spirit, or to relax and soothe out troubled hearts. But how does an artist communicate the emotional spirit of music in a strictly visual medium? I believe nature would provide an answer. And it did.

Sacred Circle

Edition 29755/40192 Size 26″x26″ sold

The Sacred Circle. ‘The sacred circle is the circle of life; the delicate thread that unites all living things. Only man knowingly holds the thread. Of all the animals, only he has the intelligence to protect and preserve it. Only he can be the keeper of the sacred circle.’ Bev Doolittle’s Sacred Circle symbolically portrays the delicate thread that connects all living things. Man is in the center because he is the only animal who can understand or alter this ring of life. But if even one part of the circle is removed, both the magnificent image and the Sacred Circle itself, will be ruined. In the painting, each panel painting has a subject, which is obvious, and a title, which is not. Taken from the center, then the top, going clockwise, there are nine lives within Bev Doolittle’s Sacred Circle.

Eagle Heart

Edition 11009/48000 Size 16″x16″ sold

Bev Doolittle discusses the story behind her Fine Art Print, Eagle Heart: At the end of the day, as they sat chatting around the campfire, Bear Heart, with a sweeping hand gesture, told me, ‘In what you are doing, you are keeping all of us alive. You make think your canvas is inanimate, but what you put into it speaks for itself. It cries out: Look at me, full of life, in harmony with the landscape! In my case, when you paint a grizzly, you’re sustaining the life of my father and my father’s relatives, because I am of the bear clan, My father was of the bear clan. I regard bears, all bears, as my father.

Edition 17459/57500 Size 49″x9″ For Sale

This painting, however, was inspired by some words written by my husband, Jay. One of our friends refined and condensed Jay’s words into a single line that expressed the essence of our feelings. Then I combined two painting ideas that visually and emotionally embodied the message Jay had expressed with his words.’ When the Wind Had Wings displays the technique and imagination that have made Bev Doolittle the best-selling artist in print.

Edition 3266/9500 Size 32″x18″

Remember the old times when folks still knew their neighbors and word traveled quickly? “There’s a barn dance tonight.” It was a time for folks from miles around to gather and socialize.

In “Harvest Moon Ball,” Terry Redlin captures this rural American ritual with all its color, excitement and bustling activity.

Castle Mountain Banff

Edition 199/995 Size 16″x20″

Castle Mountain – Fred Buchwitz

Castle Mountain is a mountain located within Banff National Park in the Canadian Rockies,approximately half-way between Banff and Lake Louise. It is the easternmost mountain of the Main Ranges in the Bow Valley and sits astride the Castle Mountain Fault which has thrust older sedimentary and metamorphic rocks forming the upper part of the mountain over the younger rocks forming its base. The mountain’s castellated, or castle-like, appearance is a result of erosive processes acting at different rates on the peak’s alternating layers of softer shale and harder limestone, dolomite and quartzite.

The mountain was named in 1858 by James Hector for its castle-like appearance. From 1946 to 1979 it was known as Mount Eisenhower in honour of the World War II general Dwight D. Eisenhower. Public pressure caused its original name to be restored, but a pinnacle on the southeastern side of the mountain was named Eisenhower Tower. Located nearby are the remains of Silver City, a 19th century mining settlement, and the Castle Mountain Internment Camp in which persons deemed enemy aliens and suspected enemy sympathizers were confined during World War I.

Original Cottonwood Bark Carving

Edition 199/995 Size 16″x20″

Original Cottonwood Bark Carving

I met Ken Kaiser in the Rainbow Bar Kalispell Montana. Ken was a kindly older gentleman. He had a bark carving in his hand and was talking to Herb Sandon to see if he would like to buy it. Herb purchased an exquisite owl with its head turned as if watching at the wall. I mentioned that I would like one if he had another. Ken went to his car and brought out these 4 carvings. I fell in love with them and bought all 4.

Ken Kaiser carvings were all original and one of a kind. By todays standards they are considered crude and not gallery quality which keeps the value lower than many. I love them and have had them foe over 40 years. These were my first collectable art!!

CMR The Berry Eater

This is the last of my bronze collection and this unknown CMR “Berry Eater” grizzly is part of my history.

Charles Marion Russell (1864 – 1926) was active/lived in Montana, California, Missouri. Charles Russell is known for Indian-frontier genre painting, sculpture. Charles M. Russell, the nostalgic, held tight memories of a youthful past when the West belonged to God. There was a sense of loss, as poignant as losing a loved one. The specter of what this loss meant loomed over Russell the rest of his life. He was the nostalgic who grabbed history and married it to idealized memory and imagination. For example, despite Russell never witnessing a buffalo hunt, it became the basis for his most popular and desired art. Nancy Russell explained, “No man can be a painter without imagination.” The Romantic art of the nineteenth century was the cornerstone to build the West reimagined for not only Russell, but also his contemporaries and future artists. No Western American artist fought back harder against racism, sexism, and championed environmentalism more than did Charles M. Russell.
