    Great pic. It has a very ancient feel to it.

    I like stippling. It's incredible that someone creates this with thousands of tiny little dots.

    Very nice, Nyx. I like her style...the people in her paintings look like dancers. :)


    Awesome pic, Ches. It is an amazing technique. :smt038

    Bev Doolittle - Woodland Encounter, painted well along in my career, is a deliberate study in camouflage by misdirection, which grew out of my effort to break all the normal ‘rules of composition’. The bright-colored fox, deadcenter, distracts the eye from whatever is going on in the busy snow scape surrounding him. And the richness of design – a wonderful, natural part of the trees themselves also gave me the opportunity to play games with the traditionally accepted uses of space that govern a well conceived piece of art.” -Bev Doolittle.

    Look at the piece closely - there is more to the picture than first appears...

    Love these, especially the first one. It's cool the way the horses & the people pop out when you're paying attention. :smt023

    I know, right? I went to see my favorite artist, Charles Wysocki, at a book signing in a small gallery in Carmel, CA when we lived in Monterey, and the other artist featured at that gallery was Bev Doolittle. Her pieces fascinated me.
