Bev Doolittle "Two Bears Of The Blackfeet" #2636/2650

"Tow Bears of the Blackfeet"Like many tribes of Indians, the Blackfeet lived in fear of many dangers... uncertainties, such as starvation, sickness and attacks from animal and human enemies.  After the buffalo, the grizzly bear was considered to contain great supernatural powers. The bear was revered for his strength, agility, vitality and invulnerability to other animals, bullets and arrows. He was believed to have a great wisdom and the ability to find herbs to heal his wounds. When an Indian received the powers of the grizzly bear, he would then study the animal in great detail and create his own personal medicine bundle of objects instructed to him by his vision spirit. This medicine bundle was an important symbol of his powers. In time, the Indian became "like" the grizzly and thus became feared and respected by his enemies. "Two Bears of the Blackfeet" is one such Indian.- Bev DoolittleAbout Bev Doolitle(From COA)  Bev Doolittle’s subject matter is provided by the out-of-doors.  “I love nature,” she says.  “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 was born and grew up in California.  In 1968, she graduated from the Art Center College of Design in Los Angeles.  She met her husband, Jay, at school, and they started married life with a painting trip to Bryce Canyon and Zion National Parks – a portent of things to come.  For the next five years, however, the Doolittles were engaged in advertising art and TV production in Los Angeles.“It paid well, but after awhile I wasn’t learning,” Bev explains, “and we didn’t like living in the city.  We wanted to be close to nature, and we wanted to travel.”  They have now accomplished both; their frequent travels and backpacking trips have covered the western United States, Canada, Baja, California, and East Africa, and they now live close to nature in California.Please Note This is an artist signed limited edition numbered 2636 of 2650.  Unfortunately there is no folio to accompany this print.  The mat the print will be shipped in is about 24" x 25.5".
