Bev Doolittle's print is a remarkable creation, showing her growth and development as a painter of concepts and ideas. A lone Indian stands atop a mountain to be closer to the Creator, while the spirits he prays for take shape beneath him. Bev's challenge to you is not only to honor the wild things, but to find them in her virtuoso display of design skill and artistic technique. There are 26 species in the image, represented by an even greater number of animals and birds that move, flow, and fly amidst the beautifully rendered landscape. Can you find the owl peeking out from the tree's branches, or the grizzly bear in its roots? Do you see the eagles swirling amidst the snow?


If you spend a long time in a wild place, you hear things, you see things you didn't know were there. In this wild place you might hear Chief Eagle Feather's prayer. He is thanking the Great Spirit for the wild creatures that share his world with him. The four-legged ones. The ones that swim in the water. The ones who fly though the air. Hidden, but near, the animals and birds Pray with the chief, but not in words. How many creatures can you find?


26 species represented by 34 animals and birds that move, flow, fly and hide in this tremendous landscape.
