Bev Doolittle was born and raised 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 art directors in an ad agency in Los Angeles.
“It paid well,” Bev explains, “but we
didn’t like living in the city. We wanted to be close to nature,
to paint outdoors 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. They
now live close to nature in the high desert of California.
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 depicting
our Western wilderness and its inhabitants. I start with a concept and
attempt to convey it through strong design coupled with detailed realism.
I want people to think when they look at my paintings.”

There's no need for the subtlety of camouflage
to enhance the storyline of this painting, the meaning is clear:
the time for talking is over. "Beyond Negotiations
is one of a few action pieces that I've created," says the
artist. "I had a lot of fun with gestures, facial expressions
and creating a sense of depth and dust. Containing the charging
Indians within a long horizontal border was not an option. This
image sums up the results of all the negotiations leading up to
the present moment (whatever they may have been!) The fact that
the image is bursting at the seams helps to emphasize the immediacy
of the warriors' obvious negative response to the last proposal."
The original artwork for Beyond Negotiations is
not only Bev's first acrylic painting in over thirty years, but
her largest ever. The piece began its life as a stone lithograph,
but when Bev saw her sketch enlarged, she knew these warriors
were destined to become a big painting.
Doolittle fans and collectors couldn't be happier
that Bev made the decision that she has, and that her instincts
about the image have proved correct. Already, demand for these
editions appears to be greater than the edition sizes that have
been set. Not since 1984 has a fine art edition of Bev's been
sized below 8,500 pieces, so make sure you get yours before it
becomes an issue Beyond Negotiations!
