Bev Dolittle "Two Indian Horses" #11522/12253

"Two Indian Horses" It's fall, 1875. A regiment of the Second Cavalry takes a short reconnaissance ride from Fort Ellis, Montana.  The soldiers have stopped to rest the horses and themselves before moving on to complete the last of many such rides before the onset of winter.As a rule, most people view things from left two right... it's a habit from reading.  So, by camouflaging the two Blackfeet Indians, it is my hope that the viewer will pass over the Indians on the extreme left of the painting.  Discovering the Indians last rather than first helps to make the story more believable and lots more fun.  These Blackfeet Indians are about to be two horses richer, hence the title, "Two indian Horses." - Bev Doolittle About 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 11522 of 12253.  The dimensions of the mat this print will be shipped in are approximately 12" x 51".  Folio is about 18" x 51".Unfortunately, the documentation for this print was lost.  However, it is a signed and numbered print that has been verified as authentic by an authorized Greenwhich Workshop Dealer (Maura's of Harvard).  Please see authentication documentation in pictures.  Click any picture to see it up close.This piece also comes with a blank folio along with Greenwhich Workshop registration card.This piece has been removed from a frame (which was scratched) to takes better pictures and reduce shipping costs.  It is in great shape.  A true gem!
