About Bev Doolittle
Bev Doolittle was born in California in 1947. She studied at the Art Center College of Design in Los Angeles, where she met her husband, Jay.128
For about five years the two worked as art directors at a Los Angeles advertising agency. In 1973 they set off on a year-long journey, and a dealer biography dates the flowering of her style to that trip.2
She paints mainly in watercolor. Her themes are Native American life, wild animals, horses and landscapes.1
The Greenwich Workshop has published her prints since 1979, beginning with Pintos, an edition of 1,000 issued at $65. The hidden images in that picture gave rise to the term “camouflage art”. She has said that if she must be categorized she would rather be called a “concept painter”.694510
Demand grew through the 1980s. Her publisher says that from 1984 until 2007 none of her editions was smaller than 8,500, and in 1989 Sacred Ground set a record for the edition size of a limited-edition print, at just under 70,000. Several editions were “personal commissions”: the edition was limited to the number of prints ordered within a short period.11312
The classic editions were offset lithographs. Later work includes original stone lithographs from 2004 and giclée editions, among them Beyond Negotiations (2007), her first limited edition on canvas. The most recent release we found is The Arrival, for which a dealer was taking orders in July 2010.3547

What do I have?
How to identify a Bev Doolittle print
The Greenwich Workshop says each of its fine art edition prints is signed by the artist and then numbered consecutively, and that a certificate of authenticity accompanies each edition.4546
Dealers describe Doolittle’s classic paper editions as signed and numbered, and one specifies pencil. The number is written as the copy number over the edition size: one dealer’s copy of Season of the Eagle is recorded as 33032/36548.134734
Dealers do not agree about the signature on the largest editions. One catalogs Season of the Eagle and Sacred Ground as signed in the plate, meaning a printed signature, with only the number in pencil. Others describe the same editions as hand signed. An auction listing for one copy of Sacred Ground records both a signature at lower right and a signature in the plate, which may be why the descriptions differ. Check your own copy for both.3448472949
Small unsigned versions of several pictures exist. The 1986 portfolio Where Silence Speaks reproduced sixteen of her pictures as small plates, among them The Forest Has Eyes, Let My Spirit Soar, Unknown Presence and Woodland Encounter. A dealer who sells them says they are not signed or numbered and are smaller than the original limited editions. Dealers list them with the words “From Where Silence Speaks” or “WSS”.502325
Resale copies are often described as coming with the original collector card or certificate and the publisher’s folder.515247
Not everything with a Doolittle title is a limited-edition print. The publisher also sells open-edition posters, and porcelain boxes that reuse print titles such as Let My Spirit Soar.5354
Her later editions are giclée prints on paper or canvas, not offset lithographs.554
An auction listing for a Hide and Seek portfolio records the Greenwich Workshop blindstamp at the lower right of every sheet. We have not found a blindstamp recorded for her other editions.17
