The bottom of the lithograph it is written: "A broken song beneath the snow, the echo of a soaring joy, a shape in the mist, a touch in the rain. in wilderness you come again... you tell us what we used to know... you speak for all the free wild things whose ways were ours when the wind had wings." Bev Doolittle is one of the most collected artists in America. Known for her “camouflage artwork”, in which the background composition comes together to form a hidden image, most of her art has a western motif and focuses on the link between man and nature. Doolittle attended art school in Los Angeles where she met her husband. Working for several years as an art director for an advertising agency in LA, she began to crave the outdoors and wanted to get away from the city to get more in tune with nature. The book "New Magic" begins where the first book left off-at the start of an exciting period in the artists life. After "The Art of Bev Doolittle" was published, Bev had what she called “a kind of vision.” She found herself traveling new paths, exploring new ideas, and finding adventure in both the public arena and the wilderness. Concerned about endangered species and wildlife habitats, Doolittle saw her mission and started to paint it, In her most recent works of art she creates the wild, gorgeous world of nature and through her magic, draws in all of us to celebrate the wonder of life.
