"Bev Doolittle's art meets not only the eye, but also challenges our ability to perceive beyond the surface of a colored image".
A DIFFERENT WAY OF SEEING ----
"Bev Doolittle's extraordinary creative talent and her very personal vision draw us into the world of her paintings and make us look beyond what we see at first glance. Snowy forests reveal camouflaged Indians; rocks and streams transform themselves into ageless faces or the proud profile of an eagle; horses move in and out of view as the blend perfectly with their surroundings..."
"When looking upon Bev Doolittle's works, you are drawn into another world, another place, another time, when everything was a story and every story an adventure"
PINTOS ~ 1979
"In the fall of 1979, 1000 prints of "PINTOS", a watercolor painting by a relatively unkown artist named Bev Doolittle, were issued by The Greenwich Workshop, at a price of $65 each. By 1989, these prints were selling for as much as $10,000 each. But it is hard to find an owner willing ot sell. What came to be known as "THE DOOLITTLE PHENOMENON" had begun. Doolittle's rare original works now command upwards of $150,000, and each set of limited edition prints sells out on release".

****************
THE MOST EXTENSIVE, COMPLETE and COMPREHENSIVE REFERENCE GUIDE EVER PUBLISHED ON THE ART WORK AND LIFE OF BEV DOLITTLE!
A PRICELESS ADDITION TO ANY COLLECTION!
Because many biographies are written after the death of the artist we are often left to guess at much of what we want to know. The what, when, where, how and, most of all, the why of paintings that enthrall us. How did such talent devlop? And who is the human being behind the paintbrush? Though Bev Doolittle is very much alive -- this book sums up both her life and art which is an inextricable of her own joyous wonder at the world in which we all live. It is best summed up by one of Bev Doolittle's own statements: "My Paintings Are Rooted In My Experience".
When this book first sold it retailed for over $65.00 -- now over 15 years later it is almost impossible to find one at any cost!
WHAT A TALENT!
This book is in EXCELLENT CONDITION and has been extremely well taken care of -- binding is tight and all pages are crisp, clean and secured. Book is free of any rips, tears, marks, writings, etc. This book has become an EXTREMELY RARE COLLECTIBLE and has been for sometime now.
This paricular copy is even more RARE & COLLECITBLE then the regular published copies of "THE ART OF BEV DOOLITTLE" that might be available.
There are two main reasons that this copy is so RARE & UNIQUE! The 1st main reason is because of the incredible condition that this book is in. This book is in in EXCELLENT "NEAR MINT" CONDITION! Unfortunately, most 1st Editions of "THE ART OF BEV DOOLITTLE" are NOT in "NEAR MINT" CONDITION, but instead they are either simply in just Good Condition or OK. In fact, my experience in trying to locate 1st editions is that are in EXCELLENT or "NEAR MINT" CONDITION has just been absolutely horrible. Many of these precious books have simply been ruined and destroyed over all these years. Most of these books have been sitting around in someone's house for the past 20 years as their Coffee Table Book and has ended up being the kid's favorite play toy. It is for this reason that it is SO DIFFICULT TO FIND A COPY that is really in EXCELLENT CONDITION, like this one.
Not only does the incredible condition of this book increase its value, but that fact that it is SIGNED on the inside by the actual Author and Artist, BEV DOOLITTLE increases its value immensly. Bev Doolittle was is an artist that trully loves to connect with those who love her art. There are few, if any books just signed by Bev Doolittle, simply to be sold as signature books. Most of the books with Bev's signature in them are books that she signed personally for individuals she met at conventions. This makes signed books even more special, in that most them are signed personally for the collector; i.e. Book Owner.
Extremely Rare Collectible
This is a must have for any Bev Doolittle fan or art enthusiast. Especially for those who love the outdoors and western sceneries. This book is the perfect addition to anyone's Library / Collection and and would make a WONDERFUL GIFT for any friend or loved one!
