The Art of Bev Doolittle!!!

All you need to see is this most famous painting and you will recognize the art work of the very talented and amazing artist, Bev Doolittle! The hidden pony's are her most recognizable works, however Bev also paints Native Americans and other animals.
This painting has particular meaning to me because it depicts the wild horses that use to live in the Indian Canyons that I ride all the time. The area they lived in was nearby our favorite rock picnic table I have posted about. The horses are no longer there, they were not able to survive in the conditions,not enough food or water year round!

So...the reason for this post is...Bev Doolittle is a member of my desert riders group!!! Bev does not own a horse but there are several members that let her ride one of their extra mounts or she rents a horse from our stables. I told her that I had not seen her this season on any rides(I have missed several due to GRANDCHILDREN!!!) She was on the last ride and i did not get to go : ( !


I told Bev if she wanted to ride that she could ride Jesse if Little Lady was available for me to ride and she was thrilled! I took her to Jesse's' stall to meet him...with some carrot's so he will remember her!

Jesse should remember Bev now!!!Look for pictures of Bev and Jesse next season!!!

Your Desert Rose!

  4. Lucky lucky you. Cowboy H has met her a few times too, but I never have. Happy trails with Bev; maybe Jesse will become an inspiration for some new work??

  5. I have seen her work, what a thrill to have her in your group! I was wondering if the pendant fit you or was too long on you? It was hard to gauge since I don't know your stature. If you did a post on it, I must have missed it? Luanne

  9. That IS cool! Mr. Fry and I have been fans forever. There are quite a few copycats out there now, but she is the original.
