" BAREBACK " 30 s/n Paper

" MINING MARIGOLDS " 100 s/n Original Lithograph As a gardener, Bev is all too familiar with trouble rabbits can cause to a freshly planted flower bed. Often you don’t see them, just the remnants of their last meal. Doolittle encountered the mining cart one afternoon and was struck by the idea of what a great planter it would make. Put together, they create the joy of Mining Marigolds.

" POWERS OF ONE " 300 s/n Original Lithograph In Powers of One a member of the Bear Clan has called upon the unseen powers of his spiritual relations as he races towards an encroaching enemy. In this classic Doolittle camouflage image the forces of the bear imbued in the Indian rise about him as he goes into battle. The Bear Clans were the guardians, watchers and healers of the people, known for protecting their charges as fiercely as a mother bear protects her cubs.

" FOUR CORNERS " 125 s/n Original Lithograph "Horses are such social animals and seem to emulate human behavior. Whatever their pecking order or whatever they may be communicating to each other, I always wonder what is going on," says Bev Doolittle, who captures a moment at a crossroads where horses have called an impromptu meeting. "Regardless of the space they have to roam, horses have nonetheless come from all corners of their world to gather like neighbors meeting over the backyard fence or a coffee klatch on a Sunday morning."

" SHOESHONE SWITCHBACK " 225 s/n Paper "The Shoshone are often referred to as the Snake Indians because of their proximity to the Snake River, although their name actually translates more directly to The Valley People," says Bev Doolittle. "From a place called Warm Valley (part of what today is the Wind River Indian Reservation), war and hunting parties would climb up into mountains. I know from my own riding that a group of riders ascending a switchback often resemble a snake scrambling a hillside. The parallel of a snake climbing out of a valley was too fun to ignore. I even placed a snake hieroglyphic in the painting to further identify the tribe."
