Description BEV DOOLITTLE Unknown Presence Signed & Numbered, Limited Edition Lithograph   "I love nature. I try to look beyond the obvious and create unique, meaningful paintings that depict our Western wilderness and its inhabitants.  I start with a concept and then attempt to convey it through strong design coupled with detailed realism.  I want people to think when they look at my paintings." --Bev Doolittle Artist:  Bev Doolittle Title:   Unknown Presence "If you've ever been camping out in the wilderness you can relate to this painting. Picture yourself sitting around a campfire. Somewhere out there in the darkness you hear something. Is it the wind, a bear, or is it just your imagination? This Mountain Man has heard something and it worries him enough that he's reaching for his rifle. You gotta figure a gut this experienced isn't just imagining things. There is something out there!  If you don't believe him, or me, just look at his horse. He hears it too! No I'm not going to tell you what the "Presence" is.  I'm not really sure..."                                                        --Bev Doolittle   Image Size:  31"w x 14½"h.     Year Published:  1981    Edition Size:  1,500 Print Number:  123 of 1,500 Issue Price:  $85       Media:  Signed Limited Edition Lithograph Current Retail Value: $4,625                           Frame:  Custom double-wood frame, triple matted, acid-free museum hinge mounted with anti-glare UV glass.    Shipping and Handling, Insurance and Gift Wrapping: ·        S&H for this print is a set flat rate of $50 for continental USA addresses. ·        S&H for Alaska-AK, Hawaii-HI, Canada-CA, and The UK is set at US$75 ·        Insurance is required, and is a flat rate of $16.90, based on the current retail value of this print and frame. ·        Upon request Gift Wrapping and shipment to a third party is available for a fee of $9.95 ·        All framed artwork will be professionally packed and shipped via UPS Ground, unless otherwise requested (additional charges may apply). ·        I DO NOT PROFIT from the S&H fees you pay.  Once the actual S&H fees to pack and send this print to your address has been determined, a REFUND of any over-payment will be promptly issued to your Paypal account.  Should the actual S&H charges exceed $50.00, I will pay the difference. ·        A REFUND will also be issued for any excess insurance fees paid.   Bev Doolittle "The Visual Storyteller" Bev Doolittle, through sheer force of talent and dedication, has achieved a status in the art world few contemporary artists even dream of. Crowded with intricate visual detail, haunted by presences seen and unseen, her paintings captivate the viewer on many levels. Bev Doolittle was born and raised in California. As a teenager she won a weekend scholarship to attend the prestigious Art Center College of Design in Los Angeles. She met her husband, Jay, at art school and they started married life with a painting trip to Bryce Canyon and Zion National Parks in Utah. For the next five years the Doolittles were art directors for an advertising agency in Los Angeles. "It paid well, but we didn't like living in the city. We wanted to be close to nature," says Bev. Doolittle's distinctive talent began to fully blossom during a year-long journey she and Jay embarked upon in 1973. Traveling throughout the west in a camper, Bev had the luxury of time to develop her unique style. Her signature painting, "Pintos", proved to be a dramatic departure point for Bev when her evolving style and technique merged with her love of nature to create what would become virtually a new genre. She is often called a "camouflage artist" because her distinctive use of context, design and pattern help viewers discover meanings which seem hidden only until they become obvious. "I use camouflage to slow down the storytelling in a painting. But my messages about our wilderness and native peoples are never hidden." As proof of her dedication to these issues, a portion of the proceeds from sales of Doolittle prints is donated anonymously to environmental and other causes each year. "Earth is beautiful and exciting and I feel blessed that I have been allowed to explore so much of it," says this talented artist.  thank you     for your interest in my auction GOOD LUCK BIDDING !  Powered by eBay Turbo Lister The free listing tool.
